Are there any DIY robotic arms that you would recommend below $1000 ?
- syntaxing 7y agoDepends on your payload and complexity of what you want. There are a couple of design on Thingiverse that uses hobbyist RC servos. The total cost should be less than $100.
- ingend88 7y agoCan you point me to them ?
- syntaxing 7y agoThey can range expensive to around $200 [1] that is like Universal Robotics clone to really cheap using hobby servo that cost less than $30 [2] [1]https://www.thingiverse.com/thing:3327968 https://www.thingiverse.com/thing:3327968 [2] https://www.thingiverse.com/thing:360108 https://www.thingiverse.com/thing:360108
- ingend88 7y agoAre there any prebuilt ones?
- syntaxing 7y agoYeah, they're a couple you can buy online [1]. Dobot came out one that looked nice and the mechanical spec sounds pretty decent [2]. But I hear the software is shitty so YMMV. They recently came out with an Arduino "AI" library so not sure if that's easier to program. If you want to go cheaper, Lynxmotion is the next one on the list. If you want to go super cheap, the LittleArm series is the way to go. I remember following them on Kickstarter and the owner (it's like a two man team) released a GUI that looked useful. It's coded in Processing which allows you to record the arm movement and playback.
