Robotic arms are widely used in industrial automation, research laboratories, and DIY prototyping. However, most robotic arm structures are made of aluminum or steel, which often add unnecessary weight and reduce overall efficiency.
This project explores the use of carbon fiber tubes as the primary structural material for building a robotic arm. Carbon fiber offers:
High Strength-to-Weight Ratio – providing excellent load capacity without extra mass.
Superior Stiffness – minimizing deflection and improving motion precision.
Corrosion Resistance – ensuring long-term durability in various environments.
Design Flexibility – enabling modular and lightweight structures.
The robotic arm design includes:
Carbon fiber tube segments as main structural beams.
3D-printed connectors for joint housings and modular assembly.
Servo and stepper motors for precise motion control.
Arduino/STM32 controller for programming tasks and motion coordination.
