10CAPSTONE PROJECT: CREATING A ROBOT ARM

Images

For your final exercise, you’ll show off the skills you learned in this book by designing a small robot arm. This arm, shown in Figure 10-1, uses a total of four small 9G hobby servos, which are motors you can rotate to specific positions with commands from a microcontroller development board. The completed robot arm will have a reach of about 7 inches. It won’t be able to lift anything particularly heavy or operate with a great deal of precision, but the relatively simple construction is a good introduction to robotics and multipart assemblies.

This chapter won’t guide you through every step of the modeling ...
