This robotic arm is a easy one, and it can be made out of household materials. I did it with popsicle sticks, but it can be done with cardboard, or even 3d printed parts. This is just a base model, you can always add on to it.

I use potentiometers to control the servos, but that is optional if you want to control it through code.

EXPANDED TECHNICAL DETAILS

Multi-Axis Degrees of Freedom (DoF)

This project is a fundamental entry into robotics, controlling a 3-axis arm with a functional gripper.

  • Servo Coordination Hub: Manages four SG90 micro servos (Base, Shoulder, Elbow, and Gripper). The Arduino provides precise PWM signals (544µs to 2400µs) to control each joint's position in 1-degree increments.
  • Potentiometer Recording Mode: (Advanced version) Features a "Learning Mode" where the user moves the arm manually while the Arduino records the potentiometer values to an SD card for later playback of the motion sequence.

Kinematics

  • Inverse Kinematics (IK) Basics: Includes a simplified trig-based algorithm to move the gripper to a specific X,Y,Z coordinate without manually calculating individual servo angles.
