The work aims to design an automatic egg packaging robot to automatically pack the eggs based on the general arrangement of egg packaging system, in order to improve egg packaging efficiency and shorten the processing cycle. On the basis of analyzing the mechanical structure and control system of the packaging robot, the trajectory of the gripper at the end of the egg packaging robot was designed. To improve the egg packaging efficiency and motion controllability of the gripper, the speed control algorithm of the gripper at the end was researched. The simulation study on the egg packaging process was conducted, which verified the rationality of the algorithm design. The actual packaging experiment showed that, the system had high efficiency, high automation and high flexible movement, etc. The proposed egg packaging robot system is practically applied, and has a broad market application prospect.
