The thesis presents the design and production of a 3D printed robotic arm controlled by an Arduino controller. The main goal was to design a working prototype that can move and pick up objects using servo motors. The thesis covers modeling of components in SolidWorks, manufacturing using FDM and MSLA technology and assembling and programming the operation of the hand. The course of development of the software code for controlling the robotic arm with added motion is described. Testing showed that the hand can successfully manipulate objects up to a certain weight. Various improvements are proposed, such as the use of stronger materials, optimization of mechanical components.
