Pick and Place Environment for MeArm

thingiverse

People familiar with low-cost robot arms featuring 9G servos already know they come with significant random errors, typically ranging from 3 to 4 mm at minimum. Therefore, pick-and-place environments must be carefully controlled and optimized to ensure each placement is successful. It's challenging to convey setup details in text format. Let's demonstrate how it works through a video: https://youtu.be/XG6HE-G8L08 https://youtu.be/oZ83OPl6T1I A touch of magic was involved in making this work. To guarantee successful placements, a funnel-shaped base was integrated into the Wire Hold to enhance error tolerance. For consistent picks, the top and bottom of the Wire Hold were designed to slide into the middle of the claw when force is applied. Open-source firmware can be accessed here: https://github.com/lamjonah/ThisArm_Firmware Post-printing requirements include additional materials: A sewing machine bobbin should be placed in the middle of the wire holder. M3 screws and M3 washers are required to secure the bottom and top of the wire holder. A 3mm plastic rod is necessary for the base.
