Hello,
I'm a complete noob on the robotics.
I got an idea, to build a really cheap robotic arm (~$60). I thought about using 4 servos (rotate the arm, move up/down the first part, move up/down the second part and open/close the grippers). As the bone material I found that 1m aluminium tube (2mm thick wall and 5cm diameter) costs about 5$. I don't want the arm to be very big, so the first part could be 40cm and the second 30cm.
Also I need it to be able to lift 500g (is that a bit too much?)
I have an Arduino which is ok for controlling some servos.
I know I don't give enough data, but that is just a thought. I have no idea how to design it in the computer (zero knowledge of AutoCAD)
Problems:
Is this even possible? (I don't see any problems, but as said, I'm a noob)
What servos do I need? How much torque? (aluminium is very lightweight...)
Thank you
