Workshop on Robotic Arm Assembly

Workshop Title : Robotic Arm Assembly
Date : 18/09/2007
Attended By : RoboTechs from Tech4us Club

Robotic arm trainer is a good introductory kit for anyone interested in robotic manipulators. The kit includes a wired controller that allows a human operator to control the five degrees of freedom.

• The kit is complete with five pre-assembled gearboxes and a wired controller that allow you to
  
• control the opening and closing of the gripper,
  
• rotation of the wrist,
  
• movement of the elbow and
  
• shoulder, and
  
• rotation of the arm on its base.

• The completed arm can lift up to approximately 4.6 ounces (130 grams).
  
• Assembly of this robot arm will give you a sense for the mechanical challenges involved in creating robotic manipulators, and
  
• the see-through plastic allows you to observe the motion of the gears even after the kit is assembled.
