Goals

• Improve original robotic arm:
• We will add three more motors.
• Claw to replace pencil holder.
• This will allow the robot arm to pick objects up (perhaps glasses of water) and pour them.
• Waiters will become obsolete!

Original Design (picture)

Project Description

• Disassemble original arm.
• Attach three extra motors; five total.
• Zero-Out each.
• Test out the movements.
• Find right coordinates for presentation.
• Stabilize and refine the final product.

Matlab Code

Final Program

Difficulties

• Construction:

- Stability. Keeping the arm level.

• Programming:

- Calibrating five zero values. - Coordinating the motors to result in smooth motion.
