Mechatronics Engineering Final Year Topic: Design and Evaluation of Force-Limited Grasp Planning

This Mechatronics Engineering final year project examines balancing object retention and contact force in fictional grasps, linking mechanical behaviour, sensing and control through a bounded prototype or reproducible simulation.

Why choose this project topic?

The project addresses balancing object retention and contact force in fictional grasps, making the interaction between mechanism, sensor and controller visible. Comparing required force, slip margin and sensitivity gives a student a useful basis for design decisions, demonstrations and a critical discussion of where the integrated system can fail.

How do the selected sensing, actuation or control choices affect required force, slip margin and sensitivity when balancing object retention and contact force in fictional grasps?

Select an available approved trainer or fictional model, then agree the mechanism, control range and evaluation protocol for balancing object retention and contact force in fictional grasps.

Proposed project objectives

  1. 01Specify the mechanism, interfaces and operating limits required for balancing object retention and contact force in fictional grasps.
  2. 02Model simple inert object shapes, compare grasp locations and friction assumptions and inspect force feasibility.
  3. 03Evaluate required force, slip margin and sensitivity and document failure cases and uncertainty.

A suggested research approach

Model simple inert object shapes, compare grasp locations and friction assumptions and inspect force feasibility. Obtain approval for any physical rig and keep testing supervised and within low-energy limits. Record the mechanical and software configuration, compare required force, slip margin and sensitivity against a stated reference, and distinguish demonstration success from validated field reliability.

What you will need

  • Fictional object geometry
  • Contact mechanics model
  • Grasp analysis software

Keep your project scope clear

The model does not establish safe handling of people, fragile objects or hazardous materials.
