5-DOFRobotic Arm

Robotics · Computer Vision · Inverse Kinematics

A robotic-arm project exploring inverse kinematics, servo control, coordinate mapping, computer vision and pick-and-place interaction.

Year
2024
Role
Engineer
Status
Completed
Duration
5 months

01 / Context

The project looked at how a 5-DOF arm behaves in simulation and on hardware, with attention to the difference between expected and actual performance.

02 / Problem

Accurate control becomes difficult when hardware constraints, servo limitations and calibration issues affect object placement in the real world.

03 / Approach

The work combines coordinate mapping, inverse kinematics, computer vision and hardware testing to examine how the system performs under real constraints.

04 / System

Simulation → inverse kinematics → servo control → camera feedback → physical pick-and-place testing

05 / Result

A functioning prototype that made it possible to study the gap between digital testing and physical implementation.

06 / Limitations

Hardware limitations, mechanical stability, torque constraints, servo performance and vision calibration all affect reliability and repeatability.

07 / Next

Improve mechanical balance, refine calibration and tighten the vision-control loop for more robust execution.
