This paper discusses the design and implementation of a high-speed electromechanical robotic gripper for grasping and manipulation of objects. The novelty of the developed robot end-effector lies in the ability to perform rapid and precision in-hand manipulation of various parts. Unlike existing solutions, the end-effector is capable to grasp, reorient and release objects, enabling high productivity in sophisticated industrial feeding and packaging operations. The motivation for the gripper design is inspired by the industrial needs of handling products with complex geometric characteristics, while a use case originating from the consumer goods industry was used for assessing the gripper's performance in an industrial relevant environment. © 2020 The Authors, Published by Elsevier B.V.
