Arduino Force Torque Gripper Kit – Servo Control to Prevent Crushing Fragile Objects

Every part needed, pre-tested for compatibility, with an AI build companion trained on this exact project. Shipped from Bengaluru in 3-5 days.

Build a robotic gripper that automatically adjusts its grip strength to handle delicate items without damage. Whether picking up an egg, a test tube, or a ripe fruit, this Arduino-powered kit uses a force-sensing resistor (FSR) on the gripper jaw to close the servo until a pre-set force threshold is reached, then stops instantly. It’s a practical introduction to closed-loop motor control for real-world automation tasks.

What You'll Build

A fully functional servo gripper with real-time force feedback displayed on an OLED screen. You’ll wire the FSR 402 sensor to read applied pressure, program the Arduino Uno to compare sensor values against a user-defined threshold, and watch the servo motor stop precisely at that limit. The result is a smart gripper that mimics the gentle touch needed for quality inspection, lab sample handling, or food sorting applications.

What You'll Learn

• How to interface an FSR 402 force sensor with Arduino to read analog pressure values
• Programming a servo motor to stop movement based on real-time sensor feedback
• Displaying force readings and threshold status on a 0.96-inch OLED screen
• Calibrating the FSR for different fragility levels—soft, medium, firm—to match the object being gripped

Why Buy This Kit Instead of Sourcing Parts Separately

Who This Kit Is For

Intermediate learners aged 15–18 working on CBSE Class 11–12 sensor-based physics or CS projects will find this kit perfectly matched to their curriculum. B.Tech ECE/EEE first-year students exploring mechatronics and microcontroller interfacing can use it to demonstrate closed-loop control. ATL Tinkering Lab members and Smart India Hackathon teams prototyping robotic arms for delicate object manipulation will also benefit from the ready-to-use, pre-tested components.
