6DoF Robot Arms (six degrees of freedom) are a standard in robotics but until now one I haven’t used. Learn about these arms, the servos they use and how they can be controlled in this video. This will be using the HiWonder xArm 1S.
Whether you are new to robotics or an old hand, watch along as I demonstrate how easy it is to put this robot arm together and control it. Out of the box you can control the robot with a PS2 controller, mobile app or Windows software. I don’t want to use the controller or app, and I don’t have a Windows PC. So I begin my journey into using open source software to control the arm.
Great example repo for controlling the xArm.
