The purpose of this project to facilitate the different operations done daily for workers.
Robotic arms are stronger and more accurate, they can work under conditions and in environments that can be dangerous for humans, so basically I'll be trying to replicate a 5DOF Robotic arm that does the same process and go through each step of making and programming it, which i think is going to be a long but fun journey.
2- Describe the project idea and general features. How would it work?
2- Describe the project idea and general features. How would it work?
It's a 5 Degree-Of-Freedom robotic arm with desing intend to take small volume when it's off, and as of how to control it, there is a small-scaled replica of the big main one with potentiometers, so when user moves the small one, the big one mimics it exactly.
It consists of 3 links that are moving using servo motors of different torques.
the original project had a wire connection but this one is going to have a wireless one using arduino uno.
3- Sketch your project: You may use pen and paper or a simple sketching tool like Microsoft Paint or Photoshop

6- Categorize your project’s User Features into: Minimum, Complete, and Nice-to-have features. List the required action and input components per feature.
6- Categorize your project’s User Features into: Minimum, Complete, and Nice-to-have features. List the required action and input components per feature.
Minimum Features: are the least amount of features that would demonstrate the coverage of all the technical modules and their complete integration
Complete Features: are the set of features that will complete your original project objective and vision
Nice-to-have Features: are the extra set of features that will make the project cooler, yet they need extra time, effort, and/or resources to finish
Minimum User Features
Robot links can move wirelessly
Action: Servo motors moves links
Sensing: None
User Input: pressing a button and bluetooth module
Complete User Features
robotic arm as a gribber to move things
Action: Micro Servo opens gribber
Sensing: None
User Input: pressing a button and bluetooth module
Nice-to-have User Features
Links motion via 3d printed controller
Action: 4 Servo motors move the links (3 standard and one high torque)
Sensing: None.
User Input: potentiometers.
All features are done using arduino as the brain with the necessary code
