Understanding the Robotic Arm
The robotic arm is a fundamental concept widely used in the robotics and mechatronics industries. Its applications range from manufacturing assembly lines to intricate tasks in research laboratories. Despite initial perceptions that building a robotic arm may be complex, a comprehensive understanding of its mechanics and the programming involved can simplify the process significantly.
Our robotic arm consists of four servo motors, providing a total of four degrees of freedom (DOF). The degrees of freedom indicate the number of independent movements the arm can perform, allowing it to reach various positions and orientations.
