6 Axis Robot Arm Project
This project consits on designing and manufacturing an affordable 6 Axis Robot Arm and program the robot arm trajectory using an User Interface (UI) which was developed to run on web browsers.The robot arm is controlled using an Arduino Mega 2560 board and an Ethernet Shield is used to connect the router to connect the Arduino Mega with the internet. The control box can be upgrade to program the robot via WiFi. For the designing of the robot arm, Autodesk Inventor software, and Fusion 360 software for designing the control box are used.The control box is used to place the Arduino Mega control board, stepper motor drivers, and power supplies for the robot arm.
User Interface
Web browsers can be accessed from many devices and this robot arm can be programmed from anywhere in the world when the robot arm control box is connected to the internet. Forward kinematics is used to program the trajectory of the robot arms end effector. In this case, the user inputs the required steps which the stepper motor should rotate, and the angle for the servo motors which should rotate. This robot arm is manufactured using five stepper motors and one servo motor. Another servo motor is used for the gripper of the robot arm.
