The future is unavoidable when it comes to building your own robots. In this project, I'll show you how I made a simple 4DOF robotic arm out of a nema stepper motor and an MG tower pro servo motor.
CAD Design:
This CAD Model is remixed of jjrobotic Laser pointer model.
The Above pic is the final 3d Printed Robotic Arm. The Material requirement are listed below:

Simple Demonstration⚒️
This project's main purpose is to enhance my math abilities. Trigonometry is used to define the end effector, which is then controlled by CNC shield. With the help of this robot, I was able to comprehend the concept of path planning. Finally, I was surprised to see how the robot controlled the end effector using mathematics.
End of experiment
Result: Compeleted
