According to the abstract released by the Intellectual Property India: "SCARA Robot with Flexible Gripper for Adaptive Pick-and-Place Applications Abstract The present invention discloses a cost-effective SCARA robot system for adaptive pick-and-place applications, comprising a base platform (1), a vertical support column (5), and a primary rotational joint (2) coupled with articulated arm links (4, 7) enabling planar motion. A vertical Z-axis actuator (8) connected to an end-effector shaft (9) supports a flexible gripper (10) configured to adaptively grasp objects (11) of varying shapes and sizes. A control unit (3) with a graphical user interface enables user-defined joint angle input and motion control for precise positioning. The system achieves high repeatability, reduced cost, and improved handling versatility compared to conventional rigid gripper-based robots. The invention is particularly suitable for small-scale industries and educational automation. The integration of a flexible gripper (10) with simplified mechanical architecture and intuitive control enhances operational efficiency and adaptability in industrial environments."
