Overview
Start your journey into the exciting world of robotics! This accessible guide teaches how to design, build, and control robotic arms. Using simple, affordable parts, readers will learn how to build a robotic arm, control it with an Arduino, and add servos to add degrees of motion for increasingly complex movements. Readers will also learn inverse kinematics, a mathematical process that enables robots to move, lift, and draw with more precision than humans. This is not a book for hardcore engineers, but a beginners guide for makers, teachers, and students with no previous experience required.
