Challenge
The goal of this project was to design a versatile robotic arm with a realistic range of motion and flexibility, capable of performing precise, controlled tasks. One of the main challenges was achieving balance between structural integrity and movement flexibility, as each joint needed to support various angles and loads without compromising stability. During the design phase, I carefully planned the dimensions and weight distribution of each segment to ensure smooth motion across all joints.
In addition, I analyzed potential mechanical stresses at key points of the arm to reinforce high-stress areas without adding unnecessary weight. My approach involved iterative testing of the design in simulation, focusing on joint clearance and link alignment to prevent mechanical interference during complex movements.
Results
The final CAD model is a fully articulated robotic arm with a realistic range of motion and well-balanced design, capable of executing precise maneuvers in simulated tasks. I was particularly impressed by how seamlessly each joint moved within its range, which validated the precision of the joint alignment and weight distribution achieved in the design.
This project enhanced my understanding of CAD modeling for functional robotics, providing hands-on experience in designing for flexibility, load distribution, and mechanical efficiency. The resulting model is a strong foundation for potential applications in automation or further development into a physical prototype."
