| Materials Used: | Raspberry Pi |
| Approx. Cost: | 150-200 € |
I built a "Poppy Ergo Jr." robot arm with 3D printed limbs. It is a programmable robotic arm, consisting of 6 motors allowing movement with help of 3D printed elements. I used the pre frabricated rivets for the assembly, which makes modification and reassembly easy. The Arm can be configured with different usages such as a lampshade, a gripper and a pen holder.
The robot is controlled with a Raspberry Pi board, and a camera helps it interact with the world. The servos can communicate with each other which allows for reactions from one servo to another with the help of a Raspberry Pi with a custom HAT from poppy-project.org.
Next, I might mount the arm on a little vehicle, e.g. to clean up the apartment ;-) The future controls may be based on Arduino.
