6 Axis Arm

November 2024 – January 2025

Cresskill, NJ

Overview

Designed a six-axis robotic arm around available stepper motors, creating all individual parts and completing the full SolidWorks assembly

Selected and procured electronics components, including a Teensy 4.1 microcontroller and motor controllers, for the planned control system

Planned for fabrication and assembly, documenting designs for future build despite 3D printer limitations and budget constraints

Identified motor torque limitations and conceptualized a cycloidal drive to enhance mechanical performance
