1. INTRODUCTION In today’s rapidly evolving technological landscape, the demand for efficient and reliable automation solutions is greater than ever. Among these advancements, pick-andplace collaborative robots have emerged as vital components of modern industry. These mechanical systems are specifically designed to transfer objects from one location to another with precision and efficiency. Structurally, they resemble human arms, consisting of multiple segments connected by joints and equipped with motors, sensors, and grippers. This configuration allows them to perform tasks with a level of accuracy and control that is difficult to achieve manually. The operation of pick-and-place collaborative robots is guided by various input methods, such as computer interfaces or remote controls, enabling them to execute movements in a controlled manner. The grippers of these robotic arms are designed to securely grasp objects, allowing the robot to move them to different locations reliably. This functionality makes them indispensable in industries like
