Open Academic Robot Kit: 5 Degree of Freedom robot arm using Dynamixel AX-12A servos

Work in progress!

This design is still incomplete, with designs and code still to be uploaded and instructions still to be written. Check back soon or email [email protected] to be informed about when this is ready!

Summary:

A 5 degree of freedom robot arm, designed to fit onto this mobile robot base (but will quite happily fit anywhere you can bolt it down!). It can be controlled using the 5DOF master arm.

This design is part of the Open Academic Robot Kit, a family of robot designs designed to lower the barrier of entry to interesting robotics. All of the designs consist of parts that can either be 3D printed using a low cost FDM printer, or obtained off-the-shelf (or via mail order from various sources) around the world. All designs are released under CC(BY-SA). Software necessary to demonstrate the robot's basic capabilities is also open source.
