I am a 73 year old inventor with 12 patents who has stayed up to date with the latest technology... your work is very impressive, especially from someone of your age. Its kind of funny, but I started out repairing consumer electronics when the TV's ran on vacuum tubes. I own a 3D printer, CAD software and lots of test equipment. I wish I had been born during this time period of 3D printing and the Internet as my inventive life would have been much easier and faster. Good luck to you and stay creative and up to date. ;)
Even though the master/slave control concept has been around for some time, the uniqueness of this robotic arm is the impressive compact and aesthetically pleasing design, demonstrating the advantages of 3D printing technology. Great job!
I really would LOVE to see a step by step tutorial on just the fusion design aspect of this. Would be very cool to be able to follow along and build one myself. Great video!
I am an engineering student who just bought a 3d printer. I was looking for a first project and i stumbled across this video. The idea for the controller is absolutely genius in my opinion. Other videos i have looked into felt so unapproachable with the amount of coding (also not my strong suit) but seeing how you dealt with that inspired me and i am going to attempt to build this myself. I also personally think that your arm moves much more organically compared to the others. keep it up! subscribed
@@kree5423sv06/sv06 plus if you're on a budget and p1s if you just want it to work but costs a bit more and if you just have money to throw around get an X1C it's literally foolproof
Really cool. It would be a great addition to this robot adding a button that when pressed saves the current positoin of the motors (potmeters) and you can manually save multiple positions to replay them as a programmed animation. I did this with a hobby robot I built a few years ago
I was wondering why the arm felt so human in the beginning so when you revealed that the controller was a scaled down version that you adjust by hand my mind was blown and it all made sense. Such a fun and cool idea
Dude, I just finished building your robot for our school project. We had some difficult times with the driver-board(that is because there are lots of boards using different parts such as (FET, capacitor etc.) customized by some companies for low budget costs with large income.We bought these boards and we had been troubled for weeks.After we got the right board,everything is doing welll with your explanation in the video. Thanks a lot for this amazing content❤ Keep doing your stuffs Sir!
I love the approach you took to controlling the arm, I have always loved that design of having a mini version of it that you move to control the big version. When I first saw how some commercial submarines have a mini arm that you move to move the big arm i new I wanted to build something like that!
Great stuff! Controlling the arm with a miniature version that has potentiometers in joints is actually quite ingenious. I am planning to incorporate something similar in my own arm for the ease of training it.
You will go a long way, a great future! And I need to also praise your parents for being supportive and surely encouraging you with your passion. Kudo to everyone. Good luck.

Hey man, welcome to UA-cam! What an awesome project to start with, I do some Arduino stuff too but I do a lot more coding than building so it was really cool to see such an awesome build! Congrats man
This is a great video. I like how compact the design is, and the arm control. There have been FRC teams doing this arm control for a while (234 in 2001), but it's been a while since it's been done well.
Why does this robotic arm moving look so much like the visual effects from the original Robocop (1987) movie? 😂 I think you absolutely nailed the "stop-motion" look!
The pot mapping to positioning is a neat idea if you’re getting started! If you’re looking to iterate Is recommend experimenting with cameras and getting back into the inverse kinematics
this is soo amazing! ive been building things like this out of lego and you are the only person i can find that does this. this deserves a subscribe from me.
Really great project dude! Gotta add that the video is very well made for the first video on your channel👌 I have also done some Arduino projects that I'm pretty proud of, but never could convince myself to put out a video like this. Now I might actually do it, so thanks for the inspiration.
I really love the design you came up with for the arm, it has a really pleasing sorta industrial look which is really satisfying to watch while operating
If you every get a chance it would be very helpful for you to add a document with a wiring diagram, that way we can roughly follow along. Thank you for sharing this with everyone, im going to take a shot at putting it together!
you actually could probably print the arm in one print with print in place hinges. Wouldnt be the smoothest but its crazy you could take something off the build plate and having it work.
Congratulations! I downloaded your project to try to replicate it here in Brazil. I haven't printed it yet because of the wrist gear. This is the biggest difficulty.
Super cool. I would love to see someone try to implement haptic feedback and a way for the arm to sense if it is facing too much resistance (like the Kuka arm).
Thanks! I don’t currently have a schematic for the controller. However, the wiring is pretty straightforward. All potentiometer’s Ground and VCC pins are connected in a sequence of wires and each potentiometer’s output/signal (middle) pin run through the entirety of the arm individually to the plug. The potentiometer signal pins make up 4 of the 7 pins on the plug. Another pin on the plug is for the push button. The last 2 pins are the VCC and Ground pins. So, starting from the smallest joint with the push button, one pin from the push button is connected to the closest potentiometer’s ground pin and the other pin on the button goes independently throughout the arm and into the plug. Then, that potentiometer’s (closest to the button) ground and VCC pins are connected to the next closest potentiometer and so on, all the way to the base potentiometer. Then, the base potentiometer’s ground and VCC are wired directly to the plug. Hope this helps!
Thanks! If I receive enough requests, I will certainly make this arm open source! I’ll let you know if/when I decide to release the files. (By the looks of it, I most likely will)
Amazing video. Not only does the arm function great, but it looks awesome too. Looks like something Tony Stark would make! Keep up the great work pal 👍
I love how stop motion this looks. If you could make a maquette controller as an input device for animators I know people who would love that. Me included.
Congratulations, your project is amazing! Could you please add the list of components? Which servo motors did you use and everything else? I understand that you are currently focusing on other things, but it is very important to provide the opportunity for those who are interested to be able to reproduce it. This way, new possibilities and the ability to improve it both on the hardware and software side open up!

Couldn't agree more!
Great
Sir do u know anyone who’s worked on universal washing machine PID based speed controller plz give me any reference
Glad to have you around @mindtekzone! There's still time to invent, follow your passions and happy building.

Using a scale model as a controller is such a genius but simple idea. Well done all around.

One of the sleakest robot arms I have ever seen, well done!
Go Kelton!! This is so impressive. Love all the description of your design process.
This is the coolest manual control method that I've seen for a robot arm, great job!

Go for it!
I made a camera control system last month using a Arduino and some motors. It uses a different concept but I have a video showing it on my channel.
@@makergiovanni Oh yeah! I saw your video from an article. I definitely have it saved for later reference.
@@declanb6985 yes it was published on Instructables.
The Dinosaur Input Device (an instrumented stop motion armature) was used for some of the CG animation in the original Jurassic Park. Same vibe.
very interested. Thank you so much
😀
Thank you for the inspiration, I used this for my first robotics project!
Congratulations for the great visual design it's a major success factor these days !👌
people don't understand how good voxelab is 😀 also that controller design is beautiful.
Wow. This is simply amazing. Very good
This rules. The controller is so clever.
Great work, neat and efficient design.
Dude, this is your first video? :o
You just earned a new subscriber!
10/10 would watch again
Impressive skills. At that age i played with barbies. you have a promsing future. Keep up the great work 👍💪.
I love it, that robot voodoo controller is cool too!
Great job! I look forward to your future projects. Subbed.

Your presentation style is quite chilling ❤
This is sweet! I love the scalable design I might build one with longer grippers
The controller is amazing 😳 nice project, is really inspiring!
could you post your cad and code i would love to build this maybe tweak it and get reverse kinematics running
CAD and code coming in the next week!

Great project bro! Thank you for inspiration :)
I think it would be great to use a ServoEasing library for smoother arm movement
Great job. Request for the 3d print files. Thanks
Love the idea! Its very cool so pushing me to making it for myself too.
Awesome! If you do decide to make it, I've added all part links to the video's description.
This is amazing! Keep up the good work!
Nice!
Consumer level servos tend to overheat in continuous work, but maybe this could really do something.
This is highly impressive. Any plans to release the part files?
