The robot, named Mechpen, and pronounced “McPen”, is of a SCARA (Selective Compliance Assembly Robot Arm) design, with two parallel axes controlling the x-y movement of the arm.

If you’re unfamiliar with SCARA robots, the acronym stands for Selective Compliance Assembly Robot Arm. This refers to the fact that the arms are rigid in the Z axis but somewhat compliant in… ...

QuadBot is a 3D-printable, 100 percent programmable, Arduino-powered walking robot. It’s designed to transform you from zero to robotics hero through a crash course in everything it takes to ...

This study investigates the position control of a SCARA robot while accounting for actuator dynamics. A cascaded control architecture is proposed, integrating actuator dynamics into the control law. A ...
