6-axis robot made with the only stepper motor based actuator you will ever need

- In my previous video, I built a stepper motor based belt driven wireless actuator. In this video, I build a 6-axis robot with the wireless belt driven actuators. By wireless, I mean that there are no wires that connect the joints to the central controller of the robot. Each joint is independent: it contains its own power supply and controller. Each joint communicates with the central controller wirelessly.
This approach of using independent joints has its own pros and cons. So this is more of an exploratory project. The actuator design, especially with its latest improvements, and the robot hardware have significant potential that needs to be explored. There is a ton of scope for improvements. I am sure it will only become better with future iterations.
Here are a few things I forgot to mention or didn't highlight as much in the video:
1. The robot needs to be tested further for its repeatability and weight carrying capacity.
2. I still need to work on implementing PID control for each joint.
3. If you look closely, the robot wobbles a bit as the joints are accelerated. This wobble is coming from the base of the robot not being bolted properly and the link between joint 1 and 2 needing design improvements.
Any other suggestions or improvements, please let me know in the comments!
Ah, here it is! Really awesome!
Thank you!
so coooll, makes me feel very siilly and inexperienced lol, great stuff man
Glad you liked it.
Silly and inexperienced is my middle name! But we have to start somewhere. Lets keep exploring and learning.
Hey I am working on a arm myself and any possibility we can be in contact? I have a few questions about making a motor controller like you did
Sure! Please send me an email at pickyrobotics@gmail.com.
