Design of a Self-Regulating Robotic Arm

Abstract: As the world rapidly propels further through the ever-evolving field of automation, there is also an increased demand for properly regulated robots. While the use of automated machines is nothing new, the industry remains in a continuous effort to develop systems that both push the number of manageable inputs and the limits of optimization. One of the most foundational parts of many automated machines is the robotic arm. During this project, a self-regulating robot arm with the ability to maintain a desired position based on multiple inputs was constructed and tested. The resulting design managed to maintain a set height with varying levels of flow and precision, enabling further development and optimization with stronger components.
