Here is the latest AR4 robot: • AR4 MK2 6 DOF ROBOT AR... www.anninrobotics.com/ All gear drive motors and drivers available at www.omc-stepperonline.com/?tr...
Absolutely incredible work! As if designing and building this wasn't impressive enough, you've gone on to fully document it with complete parts lists, assembly instructions, and even every little detail of building wiring harnesses. Stellar work. Thank you so much for sharing your skills with the rest of us!
Thank you I'm glad to share. Drives me nuts when people post projects but don't give any details or explain things from an expert point of view that doesn't make any sense to the rest of us.
@@anninrobotics hello chriss. I want to build this to, for my project final project in my politechnic. Can i get some reference from u. I hope u see this message
@@anninrobotics precisely. thats exactly the reason the datasheet or even its concept exists in thefirst place. lol imagine if Tesla said to piss off and only showed us what can be possible...Thanks alot for this
I've been wanting to do something like this for a while. It's inspiring to see someone like yourself do it and even make a little money in the process. Great job and thanks for the open-source material!
What a beautiful job, down to the details, including fantastic documentation! I think the capability to use your software on another robot is also a fantastic feature. Excellent work, Chris - truly a job well done!
This is truly beautiful work!! I’m amazed at how quite the arm is and the extensive the documentation is. Thank you for all you’re work. This is definitely a project I will be doing !
Brilliant! This is the first robotic arm that I've seen that has me excited at the prospect of building one. I just saw it on Jason Hughes' TH-cam channel. He's building the aluminum version.
Awesome, I’m glad you like the project. It’s a work in progress. I’m currently working on adding more functionality to the program and eventually a closed loop version. Thanks for the message.
NYC CNC - Thank you very much, when I first started making my first robot I watched quite a few of your videos and learned quite a bit from you about steppers, It’s awesome to hear from you and I’m glad you like it. Thank you!
It´s been almost three years ago since you post this video. I'm sorry I haven't watched it until today. Congratulations!, it's an outstanding work!. It's even greater that you've shared this project, thank you very much!
This is exactly what I was looking for! I've been wanting to get into engineering, and started by picking up some parts (Arduino starter kit, Nema 23 stepper motor, driver, and PS), but wasn't quite sure what all I needed to make my projects more professional looking, nor how to really get started, in the first place (wasn't sure what terms to search for all the extra bits for the enclosure). The directions for creating the control box will come in very handy! The wiring harness info will be handy for even more than I originally thought, as well. Thank you!
This is amazing; I wish I saw it when you first posted it. I'm working on my 3rd robot arm currently, a custom aluminum build, and may use some major parts of your design. I've shopped a lot for brushless motors that could be used instead of steppers, and finally found some that are around 200 watts and deliver enough torque, and can fit with off-the-shelf (or mostly off-the-shelf) gearboxes.
Great project and videos Chris, I run a small automation business mainly in highly regulated industries, pharma, nuclear that type of thing and the thing that really strikes me about the professionalism here is the documentation and process around it, I've seen many world leading automation powerhouses do less for mega buck projects. Well done.
One of my biggest frustrations is reading tutorials or work instructions written from the point of view of someone who already understands it.... thank you for the compliment I’m glad you like it.
WOW!!! What an incredible project and presentation! I am deeply grateful for your generosity of sharing all that precious information. Thank you, and cheers from Outback Australia, Rolf
Dude this is frikin awesum... You're my hero was looking for a project like this for more than a year, none had this level of detail or thought in its build and software. Thank you for sharing
Super nice project. Really appreciate the fantastic details you provided. I can just imagine how much work it must have been to provide all that. Thanks!
Thank you the possibilities for the uses of this are tremendous, and this technology, and design, being shared, with man as a whole, is a great and generous gift. I think this is deserving of a piece prize, even if most, don't recognize or appreciate it.
Man this is so cool! I've been waiting for someone to make a decent robot arm kit that is actually worth buying. As soon as I save up some cash, count me in!
Kent VanderVelden I’m sorry I missed this comment. I’m not familiar with Linux CNC. It looks like it has some support for more than just 3 axis machines so I will have to look into it. Currently I’m working on ROS packages for the AR2 but i will do some research on this.
Fantastic stuff. I'm retrofitting a Fanuc ArcMate 120 with DMM drives and plan on using your software as a test platform. It'll be doing silly things in the garage. Thank you for your efforts!
Thanks for putting your project into the public space.... Obviously a mule load of work. ... If I build the kit .... I will send you a gratuity. ... There is just so much here. It is great help to those of us that are trying to learn how to do this stuff from You-Tube university.
YOOOOO this is MADNES!!! Man thank you for all of this, I will go ahead and download all the github files just in case something goes wrong and everything is lost. THIS IS MAD. You hella smart!! Obviously you are a professional in his natural habitat.
Chris I really think you should do a video on how you went about designing it. things like: - The payload you were aiming for - How you arrived at the link lengths - How you selected the motors - If you did any FEA simulations for bending and play in your system And also thank you so much for making this open source. I wish this was there when I was doing my dissertation tho :'{ If you want to implement some machine learning stuff on this, please do hit me up :)
Unbelieveable great job!!! I am in a startup - i am sure as soon we have enough money, we will buy one or two to automate some of our routines, from you!
wow - on my walk home last night i remembered that old radioshack robot arm toy i used to have and how useful a "profesional" one would be for a project in my labshop. And then here one is! Lovely work mate, don't mind if I copy it!
Very nice work and really amazing robot arm, I notice the arm cables touched the wooden bloks around min 6, and the force applied to barometer was it as expected. Thanks for sharing.
Hello, yes the cables did hit the blocks but I programmed that entire routine in one shot. I suppose I could've gone back and try to monkey with it and re-recorded the video so that the cables didn't hit the blocks but I guess I figured it demonstrated what it needed to. The dial indicator just indicates repeatability of the position I came back to and typically I'm finding it comes back within about .030"
Its very hard makeing a versatile robot I’ve got sum major ideas that are so kooL they seem a bit impossible...BUT WHAT I LIKE WHAT YOU DID THE MOST EVEN MORE THAN THE ROBOT YOU BUILT WAS THE FACT THAT YOU BOTHER TO SHARE EXACTLY WHAT YOU DID...YOUR A NICE GUY THAT MATTERS MUCH MORE THAN YOU ROBOT IN MY OPINION..LOVE THE ROBO THOU...IMPRESSIVE
Holy s**t. Outstanding work and thank you so much for sharing all of it. I am a builder myself and always busy. Otherwise I would like to build your robot immediately!!
Awesome work, Chris. I'm very interested in that gripper - what type of gripper is it and how did you integrate it? Is the actuation mechanical or otherwise (looks almost instantaneous)?
Hello, it's a pneumatic smc MHF2 series gripper, these can typically be found on eBay or aliexpress for reasonable prices, this one was $40 on eBay, I have one of the relay outputs on my control box wired to a solenoid valve which activates the gripper. I have a small air compressor under the table for air pressure.
Chris - Please allow me to buy you a couple of 24 pack of beers man! Seriously. I have been looking for this for a very long time. I'm gonna be busy for the next few months because of this.
Awesome work, thanks for sharing! I'm thinking of a similar design, if I post anything about it, I'll give you credit for inspiring me to build my own! I also love how quiet it is compared to your 3D printed version released in April!
thank you Sir. your robot is also quite amazing - im impressed with your work, and thank you for helping me test and debug. th-cam.com/video/kekoQHXkdUk/w-d-xo.html
Chris its amazing and share with us most appreciated. I would start to build for camera hope it gone work as yours. But what you suggest for smoot stops? Because for cameras for all smoot motion. Thats great work. Thank you again

Ive been waiting for the metal version ever since I saw the plastic prototype. Awesome work dude!
What a beautiful job, down to the details, including fantastic documentation! I think the capability to use your software on another robot is also a fantastic feature. Excellent work, Chris - truly a job well done!
Thank you Sir, Im glad to put it out there and I hope people can learn from what ive put together and take it to the next step. thanks again.
It’s people like you that not only make this world a better place but you show us how.
This is an incredibly well documented and executed project. Nice work!
The amount of work put into this project is unbelievable !
Absolutely stunning !

Bob ?
Thank you for all that effort in helping us understand the build.
Incredible! you have gained a subscriber for this brilliant project!!!

This is absolutely briliant !!! Thank you for sharing this !!!
wow, you are truly amazing. Doing this much work to teach people how to build their own robots.
You did such an impressive job! The next step may be the integration with a vision system and hopefully one of our FlexiBowl devices :)

You did an amazing job on the build! I really liked how it went around the wooden blocks outer perimeter without touching,
Thank you
Wow crazy combination of many skill. It's absolutly insane ! Great works
WOW!!! What an incredible project and presentation! I am deeply grateful for your generosity of sharing all that precious information. Thank you, and cheers from Outback Australia, Rolf
Glad to to share it. Thank you.
Unbelievable job and so incredibly nice for you to share it - the world needs more like you - Thanks 🙏
You are an absolute legend. Can’t wait to start this project. Thank you so much.
Thank you.

Terence Murray thank you, and you are welcome - I’m glad to share what I’ve learned.
Thank you for keeping the internet alive.
finally a home project that is really close to a real industrial robot, except for the speed. really good interpolation of the movements. great job!!!
Thank you
This is awesome. Well done Chris! Looking forward to making my own.
Thanks Chris for sharing it with us. Perfect work!
Evgeny M. / Ευγένιος M. Thank you
Super nice project. Really appreciate the fantastic details you provided. I can just imagine how much work it must have been to provide all that. Thanks!
glad you like it. thank you.
Very impressive. The work you have done is very impressive.
Thank you
It chops onions like a little kid, just kinda tapping it with a knife.
"I'm helping, dad!"
"GOOD JOB SON!"
Awesome !! I'm going to have to build myself one of those. Right after my cnc mini mill is done.
wow, what an incredible, comprehensive piece of work! amazing job mr. Annin!
Thank you!
Thank you!
Thanks Chris for work and teach also Teacher telling...
Amazing job!

Outstanding work ,I will try and share you videos with as many people as I can .You should be given a medal.🥇
Thank you so much! I really appreciate that.
The robot's movements are precise.
Please upload robot videos more often.
i'm impressed, you have spend a fair amount of time on this... great job!
thank you.
The moment you showed us your robot in your kitchen, I screamed from laughing XD absolute astonishing!
that robotic arm will be my next project.... Greetings from Peru
Great Work Chris! What an amazing resource your work is.
Thank you, I'm glad you like it
Congratulation Mrs, amazing your work
wow... you have been busy! Good stuff!
Thank you
Thank you the possibilities for the uses of this are tremendous, and this technology, and design, being shared, with man as a whole, is a great and generous gift. I think this is deserving of a piece prize, even if most, don't recognize or appreciate it.
thank you, I really appreciate that. Im happy to share what I learn.
Chris i keep watching this because believe its incredible what you are offering
Thank you, glad you like it
Man this is so cool! I've been waiting for someone to make a decent robot arm kit that is actually worth buying. As soon as I save up some cash, count me in!
Cool, thank you
I'm hooked and would definitely be interested in an aluminum parts kit! I'm going to start building one. Great job!
Super great project Buddy thanks so much for sharing it! Great job!
Thank you
This is very good project. I am learning robotics fro your project. Thanks very much for sharing this with us....
I'm glad you like it
Awesome project! What advantage (or losses) would occur by adapting LinuxCNC to be the controller over a custom controller?
Kent VanderVelden I’m sorry I missed this comment. I’m not familiar with Linux CNC. It looks like it has some support for more than just 3 axis machines so I will have to look into it. Currently I’m working on ROS packages for the AR2 but i will do some research on this.

thank you. all the latest files and info is at www.anninrobotics.com
Chris I really think you should do a video on how you went about designing it. things like:
- The payload you were aiming for
- How you arrived at the link lengths
- How you selected the motors
- If you did any FEA simulations for bending and play in your system
And also thank you so much for making this open source. I wish this was there when I was doing my dissertation tho :'{ If you want to implement some machine learning stuff on this, please do hit me up :)
Excellent works! Thanks for sharing~
Amazing work Chris.
Thank you very much
The robot uses made me literally laugh out loud! Well done 😂
Thanks Chris for sharing, also thanks for the kinematics videos, very helpful
You are quite welcome. I’m glad it has helped. Thank you
this is just incredible Chris!
