The Cheap Arm Project (CHAP) began as an MSc project aimed at developing an affordable mobile robot arm system that could be used by wheelchair users to access daily objects at inaccessible heights or weights (the extreme case being 2 litre bottle). It’s a low-cost, open source, 2 meter tall robot buildable for under £2000. Now…
219 Design brought the two technologies (VR and Robotics) together which is as amazing as it sounds. Their production of the robotic arm made by rapid prototyping and open-source electronics which can be controlled through VR hardware is in its truest sense ground-breaking. This amazing piece of scientific creation very distinctly shows us the inseparable…
From our Chairigami Maker Faire booth furniture to Google VR headsets, we’ve seen various use cases for cardboard. Added to that list is a robotic arm, courtesy of Uladz Mikula. According to the Maker, the design can be replicated in two hours using Arduino and four servo motors. Aside from the electronics, the project also calls for a piece of hardboard for the…
Unlock the unlimited possibilities of robotics with Braccio! You can assemble your Braccio in a multitude of ways. Arduino controlled robotic arm, in a tinkerkit that allows you to assemble it in different configuration, specifically thought for different applications. Because it is designed for versatility, the Braccio can also support various objects on the end…
Maximo is an Arduino driven 5-axis robotic arm with a laser cut acrylic body. The robot comes with Robotic Studio software to control the arm with a gamepad or play series of recorded steps to execute complex automations. Maximo only requires a screwdriver to be assembled or we can sent it to you fully assembled….
The Maximo Robot Arm is the greatest way to discover robotics. Accessible, fun and affordable, Maximo is designed for everyone. Maximo is our second generation of robotic arms. Three years ago, we created MandleBot, a 5-axis aluminum robotic arm currently being used in schools, robotics clubs, summer camps and even factories. We have enjoyed…
Roboticists at the Rensselaer Polytechnic Institute in New York have built a trio of robots that were put through the classic ‘wise men puzzle’ test of self-awareness – and one of them passed. In the puzzle, a fictional king is choosing a new advisor and gathers the three wisest people in the land. He promises…
InnoTechnix produced MandleBot, a highly appreciated robotic arm used with teaching/educational or maker’s purposes. Now, InnoTechnix is planning to launch by the end of August a new Kickstarter campaing to develop and build an improved version of the manufacturing robot dedicated to education. The robot will be bundled with a specific control software, Robotic Studio,…
You know guys, when a beautiful, and innovative open source project comes up, we need to celebrate: that’s the case with uArm! “uArm is an Arduino-powered desktop 4-axis parallel-mechanism robot arm, modeled after the ABB industrial PalletPack robot.” Check it out on kickstarter! via uArm: Put a Miniature Industrial Robot Arm on Your Desk by…
