I’m working on a lightweight robotic arm for pick-and-place tasks on a mobile platform and have been exploring various materials and fabrication methods. While advanced manufacturing techniques are common, I came across an article on ancient metalworking techniques that are surprisingly still in use today (https://www.theengineeringprojects....that-are-surprisingly-still-in-use-today.html), which got me thinking—do traditional methods like forging, casting, or riveting still offer practical advantages in modern engineering, especially when balancing strength, weight, and cost?
I’d love to hear your thoughts on whether these age-old techniques can benefit robotic arm design.
