A hydraulic robotic arm, operating using water must be designed, built, and be tested in approximately two and a half weeks. The entire project consists of detailed design sketches with project notes, numbered parts made on a CAD program, bill of materials and a working prototype. 1.0 Introduction
In this project we were required to follow the design process to build a prototype of a robotic arm that works using water. Not only did we need to build a prototype, we needed to keep detailed notes and sketches about our progress through the two and half weeks we were given to complete the project, a CAD drawing of the numbered parts needed, and a list of all the materials used on the project. This project is important for many reasons. For the group building it, it gives us insight on what future projects may require and gives us experience to deal with problems that may occur during the project. As for the client, it gives them a product which they can use to help with something or to enjoy it for fun. The JSR Hydralic robotic arm can extend more than 8 in and has over three degrees of movement. We studied different designs before choosing our own so we could provide the best in the amount of time we were given. We felt the design we chose was the best because it was simple yet it gave us many attributes other robotic arms had. Our entire team spent time outside of our work time to get the necessary materials for this project.
Our objectives were to… * To provide a design and working prototype of a hydraulic robotic arm following our design. * To design and build a hydraulic robotic arm that is able to pick up a role of electrical tape and have two or more degrees of freedom. * Provide detailed notes concerning the design of the robotic arm and progress made each day * Provide a CAD drawing of all the parts numbered. * Provide a Bill of Materials listing all the parts and its additional information.
