3D Printed Arduino Robot Arm Launched on Kickstarter

This is a project that I have been a part of for a few weeks. It is a low cost robot arm primarily for STEM and hobby.

We have taken it to kickstarter in order to get the ball rolling.

This has a been a fun project, because, like a software, it moved incredibly quickly. We went through multiple designs in a matter of days. And we had basically the full product in a couple of weeks.

Support the project on Kickstarter so we can get a very versatile and low cost robot into the hands of kids everywhere.

Udemy Course - Autodesk Inventor

I have done a lot of online video tutorials over the last few years. I recently decided to try out Udemy. This is the first course that I have created. It is a fast-paced introduction to Autodesk Inventor. Let me know what you think.

I do like Udemy they do a very good job of lining out instructors so that we create structured content.

Autodesk Inventor: The Basics

Here is my introduction video to the course and why CAD is so awesome

3-D Printed Arduino Robot Arm

This project has come a long way since the original post.

Now it is a 4 DOF arm that has a whole bunch of code and website to get it all. Visit 3D Printed Robots to get all of the cad and code for this project.

I am also turning it into a kit. If you would like to preorder one, then go to the website and let us know.

It has been a fun project. At this point we have GUI control of the arm and the kinematics are getting tuned in (difficult since the arm is not a precision machine). In the near future we will add a recording capability to the GUI and get a kinematic controller completed that will allow the use to put in a position in taskspace and have the arm move to it.
