Welcome back to Mechanical Mind! In this episode, Jacob and Cohen dive into one of their latest engineering projects — building their own robot arms.
From designing the mechanical parts and choosing motors to figuring out the electronics and programming, they break down what goes into building a robot arm from the ground up. They talk about their different designs, the parts they're using, and some of the things they've learned along the way.
Of course, not everything has gone according to plan. They talk about broken parts, bad measurements, wiring problems, software issues, and some of the mistakes that come with trying to build something from scratch.
They also look at where they want to take their robots in the future, including computer vision, inverse kinematics, AI, voice commands, and autonomous movement.
Then they switch things up with some robotics-themed "Would You Rather" questions and a rapid-fire round.
Whether you're into robotics, engineering, 3D printing, or just want to hear two engineering students try to build a robot without breaking everything, there's something for you in this episode.
