ABSTRACT
This paper deals with the development of a hybrid robotic system with lesser cost and minimum floor space area for cutting soft materials focusing on small scale industries. A waterjet cutting system was developed as the end effector for this hybrid manipulator. The main objective is to develop a multi-purpose manipulator for cutting softer materials such as soap, sponge, leather, rubber, pastry items etc. Many of the food manufacturing industries are producing unhygienic product that can be efficiently and correctly performed with computer controlled systems that operate automatically at faster speed. The design and fabrication of the 4PRR-2P robotic system with waterjet as the end effector is explained in this paper. The soft material chosen in this work is cake. Hence, the quality measures are met pertaining to food industries.
