Robot Arm V1

December 2024

PART 1: In the summer of 2024 I started work on a 3-axis servo-driven robotic arm. It was more of a CAD project given that servo control is pretty simple. In the first part I tried to draft a gripper design but got stuck from attempting something too complicated. PART 2: I just started my engineering degree by this point so progress was slow. I spent a lot of time drawing out different components and it was about this time where the things I CADed actually started to work and fit together. PART 3: After many iterations on components the arm finally came together. It was awesome, but the weight imbalance was so bad it kept falling over.
