DUM-E - a simple robot arm based on the Arduino Uno

thepawel1211 


Hello, I present to you a project that I have been working on for the last year. It is a 5-axis manipulator based on the Arduino Uno board. I started the project with the desire to develop my existing skills and learn new things about robotics.

Mechanics

The base is made of plywood and two boards fixed with screws. The rest of the arm is made of 3mm thick plexiglass. I also installed three small wheels for stabilization at the base. The servos I used are TowerPro MG946R and Redox S90.

Electronics

The robot's brain is an Arduino Uno board with a program written by me. The arm is controlled by a board with 1k potentiometers, which I designed and made myself.

In the future, I plan to improve the gripper and perhaps add another servo to make it rotate.

1. As you have already digested the plate, you could make connectors for servos on it and make it in the format of an Arduino overlay. 2. The arm is part of the Arduino? I can see that he is standing... [Read more]

1. You're right, I didn't think of it! [Read more]

A very nice projector is born, you can even try to control the cnc and instead of a gripper give a marker pen to draw paths or even a mini drill, etc. Plusik. [Read more]

Maybe a video of the action, because I have some comments, but I would like to support them constructively ;-) [Read more]

This is a poor description for a project that was carried out for a year. You could make more effort. [Read more]

It's good that this arm is straight because it would work so crookedly; ) [Read more]

@ andrzejek23 The point is that the arm is controlled by an Arduino - the Arduino is not an integral part of the arm. The arm is based on a structure made of plastic and plywood as well as servos. [Read more]

I have uploaded a demo video :) [Read more]

You're picking on. The arm control system is an integral part of it. BTW: Based on plastic construction ... [Read more]

I like constructions where something moves and I couldn't pass by indifferently :) So you put a few words in the movie now ... From what I can see, the work of the arm is based on controlling individual... [Read more]

Could you clarify a bit what this ramp is about? :) [Read more]

SylwekK 06 Feb 2019 23:26

The ramp, i.e. here with the motors, is a smooth acceleration / braking. [Read more]

Hi. I can see colleagues that you are up to date with robotics. I passed my high school diploma in Mathematics almost half a century ago, there was not much of it in college and I lost my practice a... [Read more]

I will add a few more photos of how this arm works: https://obrazki.elektroda.pl/5111359700_1574335179_thumb.jpg https://obrazki.elektroda.pl/7176650000_1574335211_thumb.jpg https://obrazki.elektroda.pl/5470837900_1574335235_thumb.jpg... [Read more]
