Make: Robotic Arms

AUTHOR Eaton, Matthew
PUBLISHER Make Community, LLC (05/20/2025)
PRODUCT TYPE Paperback (Paperback)

Description
Your journey into the exciting world of robotics starts now!

Make: Robotic Arms is an incredibly accessible, hands-on guide to design, build, and control robotic arms, the cornerstone of modern robotics. This is not a book for hardcore engineers--it's written for students, teachers, and tinkerers with no previous experience required!

Using simple, affordable parts, this book will teach how to build a robotic arm, control it with an Arduino, and add servos to increase the degrees of motion for progressively complex movements. Readers will also learn inverse kinematics, a mathematical process that enables robots to move, lift, and draw with amazing precision. Make: Robotic Arms is a comprehensive course on how to:

  • Build two-, three-, and four-link robotic arms
  • Control the arms with simple Arduino programming
  • Augment interfaces through potentiometers, joysticks, and rotary encoders
  • Employ inverse kinematics for precision movements
  • Innovate your own creation from inspirational variations

Robotics expert Matt Eaton presents 26 immersive projects to experience, starting with simple servo circuits and culminating in a robotic arm that operates in 3D space. With more than 200 color images and step-by-step instructions, Make: Robotic Arms is the ultimate introduction to robotics--even for makers with just a high-school level of math!
