Robot Arm

In Fall 2017, Old Dominion University's MAE 495 course, students were tasked with creating an intelligent robotic arm. The arm had to be equipped with four servos capable of picking up objects of known weight and volume. Designing was done in Solidworks, while printing took place on campus using a StrataSys 3D printer. Arduino coded the robot, and it could be wirelessly mapped and controlled using an XBOX 360 controller. Some fitting work (sanding/dremel) was required after printing. A video of the robotic arm in operation was attached to the project's post. Key components included three S3004 servos, one S3114 servo, a 9V power supply, and a 5V AA power supply.
