New high-torque servo for the robotic arm
As you probably already read about, I got performance problems with my robotic arm. The issue is the relatively high weight of the arm itself compared to the poor torque performance of the cheap servos that I used. So, last week I finally decided to buy new servos for my robotic arm....
DIY: how to build a robotic arm gripper
Today I will talk about how I finally (after about 2 years of delay) built the gripper for my robotic arm! I know that probably the construction of just the gripper of a robot may be useless for everybody but, the method I used to build up the gripper may be really useful to build up the entire robotic arm itself.Basically I kept the same approach that I used to build the arm, so I used the same PVC material, servos and screws. As result, unfortunately, the arm is actually a little bit heavy and the servos are really under their...
A robotic arm gripper, a mediacenter and a Wii finger tracker are coming!
Ok, I have to really say sorry for all the time that I let this blog to be so silent.The main reason is that I was so busy with work that I can't find time to writing posts, ok, at this moment I'm still busy at work but, to be honest, all this time I wast still thinking "damn, I have to go on with my blog!".So, today, probably because I'm alone at home with no special things to do that I thought it was the right moment to start again posting my experiments and activities!Infact, the biggest sorry that...
Bortolo - how to build a robotic arm
I was fascinated by robots since I was kid. I was always dreaming about to have one or, better, to buil one by myself. On the other side I was always conscious about what a hard work it could be especially for the mechanical part, the motors, the gears and the sensor that every jont needs to have to give positioning feedback.Two years ago I was surfing on the web and I saw the very nice robotic arm from Lynxmotion. I was very interested because it is a very compact arm with full 6 D.O.F (degree of freedom) capabilities. It...
