Telescoping package handler

April - August 2025 Designed key mechanical subsystems for an autonomous warehouse logistics robot, focusing on vertical reach and package handling efficiency.

Engineering Contributions

• Telescoping Elevator: Designed a cascading elevator fork system to maximize vertical reach while maintaining a compact collapsed footprint. The multi-stage design allows the robot to access high storage racks within a limited chassis envelope.
• Actuation System: Engineered a chain and pulley actuation system to drive the telescoping motion. This robust transmission ensures synchronized lifting of the fork stages under heavy loads.
• End-Effector: Developed a servo-actuated grabbing mechanism integrated into the fork carriage. The system utilizes precise timing belt drives to engage and retrieve standard warehouse bins.
