So how does our Little Robotic Arm work?
Our Project has 3 Main Components: The Controller (input), The Robotic Arm (output), and the Communication system.
The 6DOF controller allows the user to move freely within a space while detecting in real time, it’s exact position.
Then… it runs through a program (using inverse kinematics) to churn out the coordinates of the new position in the working space of the robotic arm.
Once sure of our concept, we designed… 3D printed our components… hooked it up to an aluminium frame
And then… there was the electronics… the wiring… and days of coding…
And finally, our prototype was born.
It works! You can now move it freely, up down, left right, front back, and even rotate freely
And what we’re most proud of is the fact that we can visualise the movement in real time on the screen!
