The gobble gripper is moved above a target object. 2. The gripper is brought down on top of the object. The four bar linkages in the leading “teeth” are designed such that the downward motion coaxes the target object into the mouth of the gripper. 3. A pair of tracked belts on the upper and lower jaws draw the object into the throat where it is sorted, all the while the gripper begins to traverse to the next target. https://www.mcdermatt.com/projects/iterative-closest-ellipsoidal-transform-icet-real-time-lidar-odometry-and-mapping monthly 0.5 2026-01-19 https://images.squarespace-cdn.com/content/v1/6040705569b9ec5adb586764/79a046cf-9dbb-4f56-bb97-a5ed8e44bd6b/demo2.gif Projects - ICET - Make it stand out Whatever it is, the way you tell your story online can make all the difference. https://www.mcdermatt.com/projects/ddpg-torque-control monthly 0.5 2026-01-19 https://images.squarespace-cdn.com/content/v1/6040705569b9ec5adb586764/1615243474315-AGXRE7X4A6WAEN25CQFK/DDPG+Block+Diagram+%281%29.png Projects - DDPG Torque Controller https://images.squarespace-cdn.com/content/v1/6040705569b9ec5adb586764/1615268457877-USPJ60NR1X66S7YT62MD/Linear_Rewards.gif Projects - DDPG Torque Controller https://images.squarespace-cdn.com/content/v1/6040705569b9ec5adb586764/1615270499264-ZEVUMI8L241QT0ETTJ9G/movingGoal2.gif Projects - DDPG Torque Controller https://images.squarespace-cdn.com/content/v1/6040705569b9ec5adb586764/1615327393555-SSOB4QDTUGACT8RGR3ZW/vizpy-2020-12-18-14-46-49-Trim.gif Projects - DDPG Torque Controller OpenGL visualization I made to view the performance of the actor network.
