Abstract

This study presents the design, development and control of a low-cost, self-adaptive robotic arm with the advantages of being modular and reconfigurable to perform a variety of tasks in different applications such as education, medicine and assistance for daily living activities. Particularly for educational purposes, the robot arms can be differently assembled to fulfill various tasks and its mechanical and control scenarios can be studied in the courses.
