Industrial Soft Gripper Arduino Kit - Pressure Control & Automation
Master Industrial Pressure Control with This Arduino-Powered Soft Gripper Kit
Every part needed, pre-tested for compatibility, with an AI build companion trained on this exact project. Shipped from Bengaluru in 3-5 days.
This kit lets you build a soft robotic gripper that uses pneumatic inflation and deflation to handle delicate objects with precise force control. Perfect for engineers exploring industrial automation, the project replicates real-world process control systems using Arduino Mega, solenoid valves, and MPX5010 pressure sensors. You will tune a closed-loop control algorithm that maintains grip pressure within grams of a setpoint.
What You'll Build
A functional pneumatic soft gripper with closed-loop pressure control. The gripper's silicone fingers inflate to conform around objects, and the feedback system adjusts solenoid valves to maintain a set pressure, preventing damage. This is the same principle used in food handling, pharmaceutical manufacturing, and delicate assembly lines.
What You'll Learn
- Program Arduino Mega for proportional-integral (PI) pressure control loops
- Interface MPX5010 analog pressure sensors with I2C OLED display for real-time monitoring
- Drive 12V solenoid valves using L298N and relay modules with flyback diode protection
- Design custom PCB prototype boards to integrate sensor conditioning and valve drivers

Ideal for B.Tech ECE/EEE students building final-year mechatronics prototypes, professionals prototyping pneumatic control for Smart India Hackathon industrial tracks, or anyone wanting hands-on experience with pressure feedback loops seen in IIT/NIT/VIT labs.
Built and Backed by Compoden
Every Compoden kit ships with an AI build companion trained on this exact project - accessible via a QR code on the box, with WhatsApp and email backup. We've spent 10 years building projects for makers, schools, and institutions across India. If a part fails because of a manufacturing defect, replace it free within 7 days.
What if I get stuck during the build?
Our AI companion, trained on this exact kit, provides step-by-step debugging via the QR code on the box. If you need human help, WhatsApp support is also available.
Does the kit include the soft fingers, or do I need to fabricate them?
The kit provides silicone tubing and connectors to build inflatable finger actuators. Instructions for shaping, sealing, and mounting them are included in the build guide.
What power supply is required?
A 12V 2A DC adapter (not included) powers the pump and solenoid valves. The Arduino can be powered via USB or a separate 7-
Industrial Process - Arduino controls solenoid valves to inflate/deflate soft silicone fingers. Pressure sensor feedback for grip force control.
