To effectively change tools without human intervention, I designed a tool changer that uses two neodymium magnets and a rotating movement to pick up and drop a tool, all while maintaining tightness in hold.

This method is especially effective as it corrects any slight mispositioning of the tool changing path (as can be viewed in the video).
