Recently, I just built my first robot from scratch and I am very happy with the result.
The robot is powered by servo motors and has the following features:
- 5DOF robot, actually 4 if we exclude the gripper
- the brain is an Arduino Yun with IoT capabilities
- the control interface is built in Blynk app
- forward kinematic are implemented in Matlab using the Robotics Toolbox
- a new library that I wrote which realizes a smooth motion
If you are interested on how to build it, please check out my description on the Arduino project hub.
