Simple Robot Arm Using Standard Servos, No Hardware

This Simple Robot Arm is great for beginners trying to learn about robotics, electronics, Arduinos and engineering. The aim was to make a robot arm that uses standard parts that lots of people already have and does not require any hardware, you can probably make this working arm with things you have in your drawer!

This robot arm is made from four FDM printed sections, standard 9g Servos, standard petentiometers and an Arduino board (or even a raspberry Pi etc). All you need is to print the sections, glue the servo horns to the pieces, assemble the arm, configure the Arduino board, and set up your controls, whether using the control base included or your own controls.

This is a great project for high school, A-Level, BTEC or Undergraduate study. This is my submission for my Level C undergraduate degree.

The print took me around 12 hours in total but will vary depending on your configuration
