- I made an Arduino based robotic arm with a unique control system for under $60! This video will take you through the design, assembly, and code process. My goal was to design an arm that was as compact as possible and didn't have a mess of wires coming out of it. I think this arm turned out pretty well!

![I Made a Robot Arm to Hold My Camera [$500]](/img/n.gif)
I am a 73 year old inventor with 12 patents who has stayed up to date with the latest technology... your work is very impressive, especially from someone of your age. Its kind of funny, but I started out repairing consumer electronics when the TV's ran on vacuum tubes. I own a 3D printer, CAD software and lots of test equipment. I wish I had been born during this time period of 3D printing and the Internet as my inventive life would have been much easier and faster. Good luck to you and stay creative and up to date. ;)
Couldn't agree more!
Great
Sir do u know anyone who’s worked on universal washing machine PID based speed controller plz give me any reference
Glad to have you around @mindtekzone! There's still time to invent, follow your passions and happy building.
@@guyconiglio8223 Still designing ... passing it on to the next generation. I have identical twin grandsons and teaching them by building robots. ;)
Dude this deserves way more attention, amazing work! This is sick!!
Even though the master/slave control concept has been around for some time, the uniqueness of this robotic arm is the impressive compact and aesthetically pleasing design, demonstrating the advantages of 3D printing technology. Great job!
Go Kelton!! This is so impressive. Love all the description of your design process.
Great to see something unique in the homemade robot arm space. The control system looks so cool and futuristic to watch. Awesome job!
Hell yeah man! One of the first videos like this I’ve seen that finds the right balance between info and entertainment
I really would LOVE to see a step by step tutorial on just the fusion design aspect of this. Would be very cool to be able to follow along and build one myself. Great video!
I really love the design you came up with for the arm, it has a really pleasing sorta industrial look which is really satisfying to watch while operating
I love the approach you took to controlling the arm, I have always loved that design of having a mini version of it that you move to control the big version. When I first saw how some commercial submarines have a mini arm that you move to move the big arm i new I wanted to build something like that!
i have been building an Arduino robotic arm for a school project and this video has helped a lot, keep up the fantastic work
Congratulations for the great visual design it's a major success factor these days !👌
Really great project dude! Gotta add that the video is very well made for the first video on your channel👌
I have also done some Arduino projects that I'm pretty proud of, but never could convince myself to put out a video like this. Now I might actually do it, so thanks for the inspiration.
This is the coolest manual control method that I've seen for a robot arm, great job!
Hey man, welcome to TH-cam! What an awesome project to start with, I do some Arduino stuff too but I do a lot more coding than building so it was really cool to see such an awesome build! Congrats man
You will go a long way, a great future! And I need to also praise your parents for being supportive and surely encouraging you with your passion. Kudo to everyone. Good luck.
this is soo amazing! ive been building things like this out of lego and you are the only person i can find that does this. this deserves a subscribe from me.
This is really great - you did an exceptionally good job!
Using a scale model as a controller is such a genius but simple idea. Well done all around.
This is a great video. I like how compact the design is, and the arm control. There have been FRC teams doing this arm control for a while (234 in 2001), but it's been a while since it's been done well.
Great ingenuity and very impressive! Congratulations and I'm looking forward to see what's next!
One of the sleakest robot arms I have ever seen, well done!
Dude you did an amazing job with this one ! You inspired me.
Great job! I'm also making my own robotic arms, you can learn so much with projects like this!
wow! i aspire to make stuff like this someday. keep up the amazing work and great content :)
Really cool. It would be a great addition to this robot adding a button that when pressed saves the current positoin of the motors (potmeters) and you can manually save multiple positions to replay them as a programmed animation. I did this with a hobby robot I built a few years ago
Great stuff! Controlling the arm with a miniature version that has potentiometers in joints is actually quite ingenious. I am planning to incorporate something similar in my own arm for the ease of training it.
Good idea.
What potentiometers did you use?
This is the best parking design for a robot I have ever seen.
very impressive young man. keep it up. you're going places
Thank you for the inspiration, I used this for my first robotics project!
Wow! This is amazing - would love to see a full tutorial of this to be able to do it myself
Your presentation style is quite chilling ❤
Great work, neat and efficient design.
Really great job! Keep the videos coming!
The controller is amazing 😳 nice project, is really inspiring!
Wow. This is simply amazing. Very good
That's neat. It's kinda cute. I like the sound it makes too.
Nice design! Good luck with future builds.
Potentiometer control is genius. I might build this one looks fun
This is so awesome, love the potential of Arduino's!
Wow man, your work it's amazing!
Excellent work young sir! Liked and subscribed.
Great work, nice design! 👍
This is pretty awesome. Thank you for sharing!!
This is sweet! I love the scalable design I might build one with longer grippers
Great project bro! Thank you for inspiration :)
Awesome video and project Like many others I would love to see this open sourced!
very interested. Thank you so much
😀
Great job! I look forward to your future projects. Subbed.
Dude, this is your first video? :o
You just earned a new subscriber!
The pot mapping to positioning is a neat idea if you’re getting started! If you’re looking to iterate Is recommend experimenting with cameras and getting back into the inverse kinematics
Damn this is impressive, hope to reach your skills level one day!
goo job , just downloaded the files from the drive , i will check em out and try to build this arm . great work aprreciate youre time .
I was wondering why the arm felt so human in the beginning so when you revealed that the controller was a scaled down version that you adjust by hand my mind was blown and it all made sense. Such a fun and cool idea
This is amazing! Keep up the good work!
I wanna make this lil guy
Very impressive both project and video.
Epic man well done
I am an engineering student who just bought a 3d printer. I was looking for a first project and i stumbled across this video. The idea for the controller is absolutely genius in my opinion. Other videos i have looked into felt so unapproachable with the amount of coding (also not my strong suit) but seeing how you dealt with that inspired me and i am going to attempt to build this myself. I also personally think that your arm moves much more organically compared to the others. keep it up! subscribed
same lol
Bro what 3D printer do you suggest?
@@kree5423sv06/sv06 plus if you're on a budget and p1s if you just want it to work but costs a bit more and if you just have money to throw around get an X1C it's literally foolproof
i suggest the ender 3 v2 because it is basically open source if something breaks
@@j-hi1jisv06 is open source and better build
this project is great~~wait and expect your coming sharing~~~thanks a lot
Nice work!
Definitely gonna build this
Bro that's so clever!!!
Parabéns pelo trabalho. Ficou fantástico.
You're so young and doing such cool stuff!
Nice work man! :)
Awesome project!
YOU EARNED YOURSELF A NEW SUBSCRIBER!!!!
I subbed❤ you’re making a great quality content
Why does this robotic arm moving look so much like the visual effects from the original Robocop (1987) movie? 😂 I think you absolutely nailed the "stop-motion" look!
Was about to say that lol it looks really cool
The tiny arm for controlling is SO adorable xD
10/10 would watch again
daymn this is really cool!
Most interesting and informative.
Bruh, you are super smart!!
congratulations, great work
Impressive skills. At that age i played with barbies. you have a promsing future. Keep up the great work 👍💪.
That's so cool!
Awesome work.
Love the idea! Its very cool so pushing me to making it for myself too.
Awesome! If you do decide to make it, I've added all part links to the video's description.
that gripper is brilliant..
Great job. Request for the 3d print files. Thanks
I love it, that robot voodoo controller is cool too!
This is beautiful ❤
Amazing. Respect for the incredible work. And that price tag...Geesh...
Cool arm! Awesome project, It would be fun to try and write with it or something like that
That's friggin cool!
AMAZING PLEASE SHOW MORE
The controller is dope !
Great project.
Man, that driver board would get a German patriot going XD
Cool project!
So simple its genius!
Whaaat! Robot Arm & Arduino - SUBBED!
Super cool. I would love to see someone try to implement haptic feedback and a way for the arm to sense if it is facing too much resistance (like the Kuka arm).
Very impressive
If you every get a chance it would be very helpful for you to add a document with a wiring diagram, that way we can roughly follow along. Thank you for sharing this with everyone, im going to take a shot at putting it together!
amazing work...
I love it. Great work, I would love to make this for my grandson.
That's awesome! If you decide to, I've added links to all the parts in the video's description.
This rules. The controller is so clever.
Great job for your age, congragulations
Congratulations! I downloaded your project to try to replicate it here in Brazil. I haven't printed it yet because of the wrist gear. This is the biggest difficulty.
