The Prosthetic Arm

The prosthetic arm was probably the toughest project I have ever created and built. With the help of my friend and dad, who is currently working as a mechanical engineer) we were able to build a fully functional robotic arm that can grab and hold objects.

The prosthetic arm was probably the toughest project I have ever created and built. With the help of my friend and dad, who is currently working as a mechanical engineer) we were able to build a fully functional robotic arm that can grab and hold objects.

At first, me and my friend had to brainstorm ideas and designs. We wrote all our notes in our engineering notebook, which was where we kept all of our designs and formulas. Afterwards, we ot the materials needed for the arm:

-cardboard cylinder

-batteries

-servo motor

-wires

-the hand (or grabber, as we called it)
