The main goal of this project is to implement the Arduino into the robotic fabrication to create a master-slave workflow. Through Digital/Analog IO, Arduino could not only accept commands from robot and revert the information back to robot, but also transfer digital data for undergoing more complicated task.In this way, the robotic system could simply have add-on applications for a certain automatic process in low budget.All participants worked together to design and establish a robotic system and construct a reciprocal structure by the supplement produced from this automatic robotic workstation.

STRESS ANALYSIS

The orange color represents tension force and blue represents pressing force. The pressing force distributes the bottom part of the rod while the tension force appears more in the middle part.
The force analysis is very useful in the construction process so that the students could pay attention to the certain part and make protection before rods break apart.
