I've sat down to design and build a robotic arm several times and always given up. Really nice build. You should get some crazy camera shots with it, that'd be easy and super satisfying.
You can use ROS to do all the inverse kinematics. I believe the guys at Tormach who gave you the arm made it run ROS as well. It's definitely not plug and play though, but you can probably do it.
Every kid deserves a teacher/mentor like Jeremy in one's life. Thanks for making your videos open and public, especially your passion of learning and staying curious.
Now THAT'S a robot arm! Excellent work Jeremy, I look forward to seeing the rest of this series, as well as the series after that where you show us how to build a small nuclear power plant to power this beast!
Wow, that's such a great project! Looking forward for all new episodes. I just love your enthusiasm for engineering, teaching, explaining, making and enjoying all of it. Cheers! 😀
And then use the chainsaw to cut your hair to prove you're not as wimpy as Stuff Made Here. Yes, I'm joking. It's fun to watch all these cool projects.
Not only is this one of the most badass home-built robot projects I've encountered on RUclips, but this is one of the very few times I'm seriously interested in the sponsored content.
yeah it's rare that sponsor and creator are so well-aligned, and that the sponsor's product is actually of interest to such a large portion of the audience
Jeremy, you're unbelievably good. I cannot imagine you did all of this all on your own. I'm a surgical robotics engineer who has worked on Robotics arms intended for high accuracy and precision for surgical procedures. I'd love to chat about being part of your series.
Wow!...I now understand why you have been quiet lately lolll, like a scientist completely focused! Super cool projects, I’ve been following you for a long time and always knew this channel was going to grow and keep all us makers very interested. Keep up the awesome work 👍👍👍
Jeremy, every time I watch your videos you amaze me, this one you really went ALL OUT. Keep up the Great work, teaching is an art you've got it nailed!!
As someone in a mechanical engineering class focused on robot arms, it would be awesome if you could show some of the math behind your statics, dynamics, and inverse kinematics software calculations. Also, adding some sort of robot vision for picking and placing objects would be a cool extension of this project.
I like how this guy build a robot arm, but I agree with you. I am an electronic engineer and did robotics at university. I remember that calculating a 3 joints arm was a nightmare of mathematical calculation using Matrix math for Kinematics, implementing certain acceleration/speed profiles. I wonder in fact what happens to this arm when it moves an object....if it stops right where it needs to stop without oscillations (loop instabilities), overshooting, etc. There is so much behind a robot project!
Totally double tripple agree with Gaetano and Jackson.. its mindblowing to see him building this from scratch. the amount of hardwork, effort, time, research, studies, the level of curiousity (and many more) that had been put into this is just unbelievable.
You are my freakin' hero. I have been watching you since you re-purposed a washing machine motor, and I am in awe of how much you have learned in only a few years.
Usually when I look up Robot Arm on RUclips, I get people stitching together RC servos or stepper motors with an Arduino. Nice to see proper servo motors with encoders being used.
It's because of people like you that i've designed and built my own cnc machine. Still learning a ton and i haven't even made anything with it yet. Working out the kinks in my own design such as terrible initial motor placement and guide rails that aren't as lined up as i thought they'd be but it's definitely been a blast and can't wait to see what's possible as i step into this world of machining. Can't wait to see the robot series. You've been an inspiration to me and many others. Thankyou for the dedication you have and for the enjoyment that you share in this massive field.
This is an epic build! I'd just like to say you've come a long way from building the rotary tool table in your shed. 😁 This is an awesome project and I can't wait to see how you did it all. Thanks for sharing!
Can‘t believe all these processes be done by a single person! The theory and the action you shared benefits me a lot！ Please keep going. Thanks for presenting such unforgettable video for all of us.
Great job! I'm last year student (robotics) and i've been working with a similar robot to your for about 8 months. All I can tell is that you have to know so much stuff in order to achieve anything at all. This is your first video i'm watching, but I can definitely tell you have skills.
you must be the coolest dad to ever exist. one day your kids are going to be so proud to have a father whose mind could fill a house with all the gizmos.
Jeremy, your videos have always been supremely inspiring and it's been wonderful how you have shared so much knowledge as you've grown your skills. Thank you for your generous contribution to our collective education. Looking forward to this series!
As a mechanical engineer working in the field of automation. Kudos, this is truly impressive work. Your knowledge of all aspects of the design is inspirational
- "And yet I now have a 7-axis personal robot, and you don't. That's all that matters." That's incredible enough as it is, no matter the time involved. Few among us (non-engineers) could do something like that without serious, serious time and research investment.
A "real engineer" is suitably impressed that he tackles this project by his lonesome. This project needs mechanical, electronic, programming, control and math skills, with systems skills for the overall design. A "real engineer" usually specializes in one or two of these fields, very rarely all of them at once.
@@TheEvertw Typical engineer to misunderstand my intention. Jeremy IS an engineer. Without question, his work stands testament; as noted above. Possibly consider that your understanding of humanity may have suffered under the crushing deluge of information you've absorbed to become and operate as an E.
Daaaaamn, maker version of SolidWorks, this is amazing, can't wait for that, and your vids, I was getting worried as time went by and didn't see any new videos!
This guy’s a legend. He not only built this himself, but he also designed a lot of the parts himself and I believe he also programmed it... Most people have no idea how much work that is, compared to just putting together some pre-fab kits.
I didn't think it was possible for one man to make a 7 axis articulating robot arm by himself, you're literally amazing, thanks for inspiring all of us to do more.
There is so much that's cool about this. It's exciting to see how someone can put something like this together in a home shop. Then to take the time to share it. Priceless. Thank you, Sir. Just don't teach it how to think, and we'll be ok.
I would love to see him get a cameo as a Wakandan scientist. 🤔 This youtuber needs to go viral.

Talk to the guy with the "Stuff made here" channel. Tormach just sent him an industrial robot and he posted the first vid yesterday of him trying to carve a dog from a log with a chainsaw on the end of the robot.
Awesome work! I am an electrical technician and work with FANUC robots at my job now and i share your fascination with robots. Ive always wanted to build one myslef but i could never justify the project with the reality that i wouldnt use it all that much. Also i lack the skills and tools needed to design, code, machine, etc to build my own. Definatly looking forward to more videos on this project!
I have extensive experience in electronics, machining and 3D CAD so I fully understand what you are going through. This is an extraordinary effort and you are doing an amazing job taking on all these challenges in so many fields. You are certainly fearless which is what it takes to succeed. Your accomplishments are achieved in industry by a team of at least a few dozen engineers. Fantastic project !!!
A while back I watched a Jeremy Fielding video where he was working on a woodworking/carpentry project and I commented that his thought process and planning would make him an excellent engineer. Little did I know that he is a kickass engineer first and foremost haha!
i am so fascinated with your videos and learning the intricacies of electrical components and robots. I've been contemplating going to school for electromechanical tech.
Wow, thanks for sharing. I like the design of keeping the motors towards the center so it does not need to accelerate as much mass. Also, it will be interesting to see people learn from this and build more of them.

You're video of the SCARA robot brought me here! Thank!
So next I'm hoping to see you install Stuff Made Here's chainsaw on the end, then have AvE over to test the skookumness.
I saw Jeremy's video first, then watched Shanes and thought "what are the chances?!"
And then use the chainsaw to cut your hair to prove you're not as wimpy as Stuff Made Here.
Yes, I'm joking. It's fun to watch all these cool projects.
This could have been my comment! We watch all the same things :)
The most ambitious crossover in history
This would be the Formula 410 of awesomeness. I'm not sure the world is ready for it.

For several years of searching on RUclips, you are the first who makes a product, and does not repair and tint something that already exists.
Astonishing. You've come a long way Jeremy. Cheers mate.
