Arduino profiles the ARCTOS open-source robotic arm
Arduino documented ARCTOS as a buildable six-axis robotic arm using 3D-printed parts and widely available control hardware.
Evidence notes
- The arm provided six degrees of freedom and a 500-gram payload for tasks such as pick-and-place and box packing.
- Builders could fabricate its PLA components on a consumer 3D printer and source the remaining hardware for about $400 at the time.
- A Mega 2560 microcontroller, CNC shield and GRBL-based open-source firmware formed the core control stack.
