1. Wright State University Design Constraints Gripper Arm Materials Weights Movements Summary Appendix –Torque Calculations –Robotic Arm Schematic

2. Wright State University Gripper 3 prong gripper design –greater flexibility –more stable –easier controls 7.5 cm largest dimension of object to be retrieved

3. Wright State University Arm 1 meter reach 6” maximum dimension of the base –limited to width of doorways Motor-on-joint –smaller base/direct application Counterweight –balanced arm/lower torque

4. Wright State University Materials Keep assembly to just one material--2024 Aluminum –based on high strength to weight density ratios –cost savings –lower torque compared to steel

5. Wright State University Weights Assembly –30 lb. Maximum wheel chair efficiency Payload –0.5 kg lower cost

6. Wright State University Movements 5 axis of rotation Maximum speed of linkages to be no more than 28 º/sec or 0.5 m/sec Z Y X Base

7. Wright State University Constraints Summary One material: 2024 Aluminum 1 meter arm length Maximum base dimension: 6 in Payload: 0.5 kg Largest dimension of object: 7.5 cm Maximum weight of assembly: 30 lb. 5 axis of rotation Maximum speed of linkages: 28 º/sec motor on joint design counterweight design 3 prong gripper design
