Prototyping and Control of an Educational Manipulator Robot. In 2024 10th International Conference on Control, Decision and Information Technologies (CoDIT). Vallette: IEEE, p. 1-6. ISBN 979-8-3503-7397-4.http://hdl.handle.net/10198/30538This article presents the prototyping of an educational manipulator robot, based on the “EEZYbotARM Mk2” robot, tailored for first-year master’s students in the field of robotics. The project encompasses the assembly of the robot arm, computation of both forward and inverse kinematics, and analysis of two path-planning movement algorithms. These features are consolidated into an Arduino library to streamline the process for students to generate instructions for the robot. The “EEZYbotARM Mk2” features a three-degree-of-freedom revolute arm with a gripper that remains parallel to its base at all times, enhancing its suitability for educational applications such as pick-and-place tasks. The article provides detailed descriptions of the materials and methods employed, along with proposed challenges for student engagement.engArduinoRoboticsRobot armconference paper
