![]() ![]() A small camera mounted on the hand determines the orientation of the blocks relative to the machine so that the wrist can rotate itself in the proper alignment in order to pick them up. For the sake of demonstrating his creation in action, he whipped up a basic demo that can locate and move colored blocks laid at random on a surface. To orchestrate the robot’s movement, he wrote some nice looking software in C++ which visualizes the inverse kinematics at work in each point of articulation. ![]() Though the majority of the arm is metal, the hand at the end of his robot was built with 3D printed parts and can be switched out with the future attachments plans to design. This classic gripper piece is driven separately with its own Arduino brain controlling the individual servos in the fingers.Įach finger includes some load bearing sensors which harvested from an old scale so that the gripper can tell whether or not it has a hold of an object without crushing it. Jaws are powered by MG-996R servo and controlled by Arduino Uno (Pin A0) via CNC Shield v3. These custom pieces coupled with some hefty stepper motors ensure the arm’s accuracy as it twists freely and slides along the gantry it’s mounted to. I have a problem with the robot arm gripper. With a background in software engineering, decided to make a physical demonstration of his knowledge in the form of a six axis robotic arm… the final product is a delicious display of mechanical eye candy.īuilt from mostly aluminum stock, machined the bulk of his parts with a CNC mill which he picked up for cheap from China. ![]()
