I need a complete design concept for a pair of robotic arms that ride on a belt-conveyor carriage and repeatedly pick up and place boxes or other packaged products. The system should track each package as it approaches, lift it smoothly from the moving belt, travel with the carriage, then set it down at a defined drop-off point without interrupting the conveyor flow.

What I am looking for:
• A practical arm configuration that offers enough reach and freedom of motion to cope with variations in box size and belt speed.
• A gripper concept—suction, mechanical, or a hybrid—suited to cardboard cartons and shrink-wrapped packs. I’m open to your recommendation so long as it delivers secure, damage-free handling and quick release.
• Clear specification of motors, drives, sensors, and control logic (PLC, ROS, or similar) needed to synchronize the arms with the conveyor.
• 3D CAD files, motion simulations, and a concise report explaining cycle time estimates, payload limits, and safety considerations.

Acceptance criteria:
• The model must demonstrate reliable pick-and-place action for box weights up to 10 kg at 20 cycles per minute.
• All components specified must be commercially available off-the-shelf.
• Drawings and BOM are delivered in formats that allow my in-house team to move straight into prototyping (STEP, PDF, and editable spreadsheet).

If you have experience with high-speed packaging lines, delta or SCARA configurations, or AI vision integration, please highlight it—those skills will help you stand out.
