Abstract:

The article presents the methodology of proceeding while designing a manipulator with 6 degrees of freedom. The main goal of the project was to produce as many elements as possible using a 3D printer and to ensure maximum load capacity of 0.5 kg in the position of the greatest tilt of its arms. In the project described above, a manipulator was made in which nearly 90% of the elements were obtained in 3D printing technology. A smartphone with dedicated software written in C ++ was used to provide communication of the robot with the user. The STM32 microcontroller was used as a source of communication and computational element in the robot. The designed manipulator is modelled on Autodesk Inventor 3D graphics software. The culmination of the work was the preparation of a physical model and verification of its correct functioning.
