Partnering with a fellow engineering student at UT, we are embarking on a project to design, build, and test a 6-axis robotic arm capable of manipulating a 1-inch cube with precision. This project, leveraging an Arduino microcontroller, stepper motors, and servos, emphasizes the practical application of engineering principles, with a focus on 3D printing for cost-effective construction and comprehensive testing to validate the arm's accuracy and reliability in robotics.
The selection of this project was driven by a desire to challenge our engineering capabilities and to apply theoretical knowledge from our coursework into a tangible, practical project. Additionally, a key objective is to maintain thorough documentation of our progress through a "Blog" section on this website, ensuring transparent communication and updates on all critical aspects of the project. This not only allows us to track our progress but also enables us to share our journey and insights with a broader audience, fostering a community of learning and innovation.
