Introduction

Maple is a Waveshare 4-DOF Robot arm equipped with joint feedback. While I have controlled the joints directly, I haven't yet had the opportunity to further develop and explore the potential applications with the system. Below is a list of future projects I would like to use Maple for.

Future Projects

  • Integration with Juniper - a mobile research platform with a robot arm
  • Adding another degree of freedom - building a 5DOF arm with a new end effector
  • Learning Sim to Real Transfer with object manipulation tasks.
