07 - Bottle Opener

Team Members:

Alexander Kelly, Ellen (Yuyun) Yu, Sid Bhargav, Samik Singh

Summary/Overview:

Removing a crown bottle cap requires a complex, non-linear prying motion and significant force that simple joints cannot achieve. To solve this, we are designing an automated linkage system to translate a continuous rotary input into a high-leverage prying motion. We will validate the system by conducting kinematic and force analysis, developing an OnShape CAD model, and fabricating a stainless steel prototype for a standard bottle size. Ultimately, this project will deliver a automated bottle opener that demonstrates the application of robot mechanism design principles.
