I am currently working on a project involving manufacturing of an elecromechanical device ,a robotic arm capable of amplifying human arm action.
I have the design sketched out in my mind (i want to keep it as simple as possible).It will be a computer controlled manipulator consisting of aluminium links connected mostly by revolute joints,one end will bw attached to a supporting base while the other end would be free to perform a given task.
The design will have three parts:
1)the chassis or the supporting base(this will hold the circuitry and the arm )
2)the the shoulder or the hindarm.This will be in direct contact with the base capable of rotating in a two dimensional plane and the other end of it will be attached to the third part i.e the forearm
3)the forearm will be the final part of the design(again this should be able to rotate w.r.t the shoulder).
Now that the basic design is chalked out we must enable the arm to move and for that we would be requiring stepper motors , gears etc.
The frivolities being over this is the part that gets really confunding; that is how to make the arm write.I am not going to delve into the programming part as yet,but will try and keep you updated on the latest developments.
