Pick and Place/Nut Driver End Effector (NISSAN AMERICA, 2024-ONGOING)
Through a project facilitated by Vanderbilt University, four classmates and I have been collaborating with Nissan to automate a subassembly process.
I have primarily been responsible for designing this end effector to be mounted to the end of a 6-Axis UR10 Robot.
