Masters program lesson 7- robotics arm

This image showcases a DIY robotic arm constructed using an Arduino microcontroller, servos, and a breadboard, all mounted on a wooden base. This project exemplifies the accessibility of robotics and automation through open-source platforms like Arduino. The arm, controlled by the Arduino, utilizes servos to achieve movement, demonstrating fundamental principles of robotics such as articulation and programmed motion.

In real-life applications, this type of robotic arm, albeit on a larger and more sophisticated scale, is used in manufacturing for tasks like assembly and pick-and-place operations.1 Its creation fosters a deeper understanding of mechatronics and coding, bridging the gap between theoretical knowledge and practical application. The project highlights the potential for automation in everyday tasks, such as feeding pets or sorting objects, and serves as a stepping stone for more complex robotic designs, ultimately impacting fields like industrial automation, healthcare, and even space exploration.
