Dual Robot Log Handling

The goal of the project is to design end effectors and program the robots to pick up, rotate, and manipulate a log through a band saw following a prescribed path. The path will be communicated via a Programmable Logic Controller after each log is scanned to find the optimized cutting planes

=Problem Definition= In modern sawmills, logs become lumber through an automated assembly line of hydraulic equipment which is expensive to maintain. A two-robot system would improve sawmill throughput and significantly reduce maintenance, computing, and operational costs.
