Robotic Arm

Component NameUseQuantity
Buck ConverterUsed to step down voltage from 12V to 5V as the operating voltage of the servos is 5-6V1
Jumper wiresFor making connectionsMultiple
Screws and NutsFor AssemblyMultiple
BreadboardFor circuit connections1
3D printed partsFor AssemblyMultiple
3.5" inch ILI9486 TFT Touch Shield LCD Module 480x320 for Arduino UnoIt is the Resistive touch screen module that we used. It comes along with a stylus.1
Tower Pro MG996R servo motorIt provides higher torque compared to the smaller servos, so used to actuate larger links like base, waist.3
Tower Pro SG90 ServoSmaller servos are used to actuate smaller links like wrist, gripper.3
12V AC-DC adapterUsed to provide power to the servo motors1
9V batteriesInitially used to power the servos, later were replaced with the adapter. Can be used to power Arduino.1-3
