Translating physical motion into digital reality
This project was designed to create a robotic arm that can be controlled using potentiometers. The physical robotic arm was replicated in real-time as a 3D virtual counterpart, enabling users to control the robotic arm remotely from anywhere.
The project's goal was to explore the interaction between the physical and virtual worlds. To achieve this, we used Arduino to control the physical robotic arm and Processing to create a virtual 3D representation of the arm. Potentiometers were used as control interfaces to intuitively move the robotic arm.
This project had exciting applications in telepresence and robotics learning. Some of the potential applications included:
- Remote control of a robotic arm in a physical environment from anywhere in the world.
- Use as a learning tool for robotics students to grasp concepts of robot control and programming.
- Exploration of the interaction between the physical and virtual worlds in the field of robotics.
