Controlling Robotic Arms Using Raspberry Pi Through the Internet

摘要

Robotic arms are widely used in the industry, research and even in some consumer products. They are used to automate movements or to substitute humans for various reasons. These can be hazardous environment, for example radiation, extreme heat, lack of oxygen; or other factors, like long travel time as in case with the robotic arm of a Mars rover. In both cases, it is crucial to allow controlling the arm from the distance. The solution described in this research uses a cloud service to connect the client software and the device itself. The client application then can be deployed to computers, tablets, even mobile phones with internet access.
