I built a "Poppy Ergo Jr." robot arm with [[3DP|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 servos communicate with each other and a [[Raspberry Pi]] with a custom HAT from [https://www.poppy-project.org/en/robots/poppy-ergo-jr/ poppy-project.org].
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 [https://www.poppy-project.org/en/robots/poppy-ergo-jr/ poppy-project.org].
 
There are many modular add-ons that are interesting!


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]].

Status: first stage completed
Initiator: JOAL03
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.
