Title: New Robot Idea!
Post by: rockrobotics on March 11, 2010, 05:22:00 PM

Hi,

I had an idea for a robot that had a shoulder, elbow, and two fingers!  What it would do is copy the masters movements.  The master would wear this thing on his arm that has potentiometers or something on it to tell the robot how fast and far each part is moving!  I'm just wondering how you could acomplish this!

Thanks,

Rock Robotics

paiinfully dificult.

its worth reading up on robotic arms, and control mechanisms.

to be honest, your better off building the arm with standered micro controling movements, and then worrying about how to control it by copying someone elses momvements
