This project presents the development of 3D-printed robotic arm with an efficient gripper, designed for related applications. The arm is controlled by servo motors and potentiometers, allowing precise movement of the shoulder, arms, wrists, and gripper. A pressure/force sensor is integrated into the gripper to prevent excessive force, ensuring the safe handling of delicate objects. When pressure is detected, the gripper stops, even if the potentiometer continues turning, and releases when turned in the opposite direction. The system also includes green and red LEDs to indicate pressure detection, along with an LCD display to show the gripper’s status. This design emphasizes safety and precision, making it suitable for healthcare uses such as rehabilitation, medical procedures, or assisting patients. The project can be commercialized by targeting the healthcare and assistive technology sectors, offering the robot arm as a reliable, customizable solution for precise, gentle object handling. With appropriate patent protection, regulatory compliance, and partnerships, this technology can benefit medical facilities, enhancing care and safety standards.
