I've sat down to design and build a robotic arm several times and always given up. Really nice build. You should get some crazy camera shots with it, that'd be easy and super satisfying.

You can use ROS to do all the inverse kinematics. I believe the guys at Tormach who gave you the arm made it run ROS as well. It's definitely not plug and play though, but you can probably do it.

It will move to wherever it’s told, straight through anything in the way if it has to. Make sure that ain’t you”

@gaetanotrina9194 2 жыл бұрын

I like how this guy build a robot arm, but I agree with you. I am an electronic engineer and did robotics at university. I remember that calculating a 3 joints arm was a nightmare of mathematical calculation using Matrix math for Kinematics, implementing certain acceleration/speed profiles. I wonder in fact what happens to this arm when it moves an object....if it stops right where it needs to stop without oscillations (loop instabilities), overshooting, etc. There is so much behind a robot project!

A "real engineer" is suitably impressed that he tackles this project by his lonesome. This project needs mechanical, electronic, programming, control and math skills, with systems skills for the overall design.
