There have been a few short threads on this but none really suits the question so I’ll put it out there.
I’m in the thought process of a design for a project that would require a mechanized arm
Tool weight: 2 kg
Need to change tools - not currently
Tool tip accuracy - 1mm in all dimensions plus commensurate angular accuracy
Movement speed - fairly low maximum speed at a few cm/sec
Tool tip target area - around a one foot^3 spherical volume
Tool connections - a few cords that might present some issues with arm mobility but I imagine this could be worked out
The hardware I would need is a few steps above the hobby level. I’m just at the conceptual level now, but wondering what is available in terms of hardware and software. Are there standard protocols for ‘robot arm control’, a control language, more or less?
It might be good to know some basics about what is available and what software support might be common to the concept of mechanical arm manipulation.
Is any simulation software for robotic arm control? This would, I presume, have to be specific to a particular product or development environment.
