But what if there was a way to bridge that gap? This robot arm guide offers a guide to building a mini robotic arm using Arduino, complete with 3D-printed parts and easy-to-follow instructions.

Learn how to build your own desktop fully functional robot arm powered by Arduino hardware and assembled using 3D printed parts.

He calls it the Robo Marionette. He’s using a MeArm 4 DOF robotic arm, a Sensel touch interface, an Arduino Uno, and a servo shield for the Arduino to control the MeArm.

In the 1980s, there was Armatron. It was the robotic arm toy offered by Tandy electronics that started it all. Today, it’s a whole new world. You can control robotic arm kits with an Arduino ...

This product is courtesy of It was super easy to make this mobile tracked platform and radio-controlled useful for building ...

It is similar to old control systems using a synchro (sometimes called a selsyn), but uses potentiometers and servo motors. An Arduino handles reading the potentiometers and driving the servos.

2. Build a Robot Arm If you really want to learn a ton of different Arduino-related skills with one project, a robot arm is a great place to start.

I just want to flag this one, an arm aimed at students: the Braccio ++ kit, for an introduction to robotics, letting you lift, place, twist objects under digital control ...
