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!
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!
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!
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!
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
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!
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
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"
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.
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 :)
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!!
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.
Today was first power up of the main control panel! No smoke was let out, but I nearly jumped as all the relays closed together! Printing J5 parts now...
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 !
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!
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!
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.
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.
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!
Awesome !! I'm going to have to build myself one of those. Right after my cnc mini mill is done.

It is really awesome design, it looks like Kuka Robot, I am also service engineer of CyberKnife Radiation surgery machine which treats the patients with Kuka robot. We also use an EMT tool to calibrate the axises as mechanical due to references on the axis joint points.
Nice work! Watching the video also gives some appreciation towards the mechanical engineering challenges there must be, to make a robot arm that would have precise and rigid movements with minimal or no backlash. Also, the challenges there would be trying to electrically connect the moving parts, of a 6 axis robot, without loose wires (that knock Jenga puzzles over). On a lighter note, it looks like you need 2 robot arms. One to hold the knife and another to hold the tomato! :-)
I should have redone the video so the blocks wouldn’t get hit. But to your point it was a ton of work to design and keep it cheap. Tough to tuck and loom wires on something that small with no exoskeleton. Thank you for the compliment.
I think showing the blocks getting hit was actually good to leave in. It helps prompt viewers into considering some of the technical challenges with making robotic arms. Thanks for the reply. Video liked and subscribed. :-)
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!
@4:36 if the robotic arm would have fixed the top of the messed-up small tower of blocks, then I would have been really impressed. ;-) But amazing work, nonetheless. Thanks for sharing. One great use for this would be for moving pieces on a chessboard. Although the move algorithm would probably be rather complex...
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!
Watching the video as an industrial automation guy...What kind of schmo programs his toy robot to chop onions and pour drinks? 4 seconds later "You'd have to be a real jackass to program a robot to do those things. We're using this for machine tending." Music to my ears brother - so glad I stumbled across this video, if for no other reason than I'm always looking for fun projects to do in my home CNC shop!
Wow! You could try to hook up an extruder and nozzle to the robot arm and print some benchy's or so. Would be interesting to see the repeatability, ... ;)
yea, I think it would do OK with an extruder but really this is mean more for basic material handling. I think 3 axis machines are much better built for printing and cutting. I have a design put together for a 3 axis engraver. I'll but together a manual and all the 3D models for that up on github soon.
"Just kidding you'd have to be a real jackass with way to much time on your hands" LMAO! Great work sir, very inspiring. looking forward to more videos.
Wow!!! I'll take half a dozen. I can think of so many task this robotic arm can do....AMAZING!!! Why are you giving away all the hard work at no cost? What's your motive to do that? Thank you! It's very nice of you! If I ever build one I'll donate hundred $ bill to you!!!

The amount of work put into this project is unbelievable !
Absolutely stunning !
Islam Magdy Thank you so much I appreciate the compliment. :)
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
It chops onions like a little kid, just kinda tapping it with a knife.
"I'm helping, dad!"
"GOOD JOB SON!"
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.
You did an amazing job on the build! I really liked how it went around the wooden blocks outer perimeter without touching,
Thank you
Ive been waiting for the metal version ever since I saw the plastic prototype. Awesome work dude!
This is an incredibly well documented and executed project. Nice work!
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.

thank you, I really appreciate that. Im happy to share what I learn.
This looks cool, I'll have to investigate ur videos more, thanks for sharing
I just want to say that its amazing how much work you have put into this, and that your giving it away. Thank You..:)
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
The robot's movements are precise.
Please upload robot videos more often.
Thank you for all that effort in helping us understand the build.
The robot uses made me literally laugh out loud! Well done 😂

Thank you for keeping the internet alive.
The moment you showed us your robot in your kitchen, I screamed from laughing XD absolute astonishing!
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.
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 :)
You really trust your code by holding a tomato next to a robot with a knife. Nice work :)
you are incredible. i wish i could have you as my master at university...
Thank you!
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!!
that robotic arm will be my next project.... Greetings from Peru
This is absolutely briliant !!! Thank you for sharing this !!!
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.

amazing work, you are my hero
Bruno Villedieux Thank you very much.
Outstanding contribution. Thank you very much!
I'm just now finishing the printing of my own arm. Can't wait to make it in aluminum some day!
cool, id love to see pics or video of your build.
Today was first power up of the main control panel! No smoke was let out, but I nearly jumped as all the relays closed together! Printing J5 parts now...
