With the development and acquisition of new research equipment, a need arose at the Faculty of Mechanical Engineering for a dedicated manipulator to move the plastic gear test rig between testing chambers. The principles of the VDI 2221 guideline were presented and used as the basis for the design and execution of the engineering process. User requirements were collected and translated into technical specifications. Existing solutions on the market were reviewed, compared, and the most suitable one was selected. Three concepts were developed, evaluated, and the best one was further elaborated to the stage of embodiment in a 3D model. Finally, the final specifications of the selected concept were defined, an economic analysis was performed, and the solution was verified through computer simulation.
