Build and Operation:
The 6DOF 3D printed robotic arm is a versatile and accessible platform for educational purposes, prototyping, and light-duty industrial applications. Its modular design allows for easy assembly and customization, making it suitable for users with varying levels of expertise in robotics and electronics.
The servo motors, strategically mounted at each joint of the robotic arm, enable precise control of its movement in six degrees of freedom: base rotation, shoulder rotation, elbow rotation, wrist pitch, wrist roll, and gripper actuation. The metal gear construction ensures durability and reliability, capable of withstanding repeated use and moderate loads.
Controlled by an Arduino Uno microcontroller board, the robotic arm executes predefined motion sequences or responds to user input through a designated interface, such as a computer or joystick controller. The inverse kinematics algorithms implemented in the Arduino code translate desired end-effector positions and orientations into corresponding joint angles, enabling the arm to accurately reach and manipulate objects within its workspace.
Powered by a standard DC 12V adapter, the robotic arm operates efficiently and reliably, making it suitable for use in classroom demonstrations, DIY projects, and small-scale automation tasks. With its accessible design, robust construction, and versatile control capabilities, the 6DOF 3D printed robotic arm offers an engaging platform for exploring concepts in robotics, automation, and mechatronics.
