4-DOF Robotic Arm with Inverse Kinematics and Payload Testing
Approx. component budget: Rs. 10,000 - 15,000
Objective
Design the arm for a target payload, derive forward and inverse kinematics, and measure repeatability and maximum payload.
What you will build
Links in aluminium/acrylic/3D-printed parts, high-torque servos or steppers, controller, motor drivers, power supply and a gripper.
Results you can expect
- Workspace plot
- Repeatability (mm)
- Payload vs deflection
- Accuracy of kinematic model
What you will learn
Robotics, kinematics and mechanism design. Good for automation and robotics interviews.
Tools and notes
Arduino/ESP32, Python or MATLAB for kinematics.
Resume points from this project
- Built and tested 4-DOF Robotic Arm with Inverse Kinematics and Payload Testing; objective: design a robotic arm for a target payload, derive its kinematics, and measure repeatability and maximum payload.
- Measured and analysed workspace of the arm and Repeatability (mm); wrote the report and presented the results in a viva. Add your own numbers: [x].
Replace [x] with your own measured results. Write only what you really did.
