Quantitative Study of Robotic Limitations for Assisting Physically Impaired Individuals
Started July 11, 2024
Abstract or project description
Robotic arms are used heavily today. They are used in factories, farms, warehouses, and many other areas. They are mainly used in pick and place tasks. One of the most significant advantages of industrial robot arm is their ability to make productivity lightning-fast. Unlike humans, robots do not get tired. However, these industrial robotic arms have their limits. They are not as versatile as a human arm. If a more versatile option, such as the articulated robot arm, was created, productivity could be faster and more efficient. A more versatile robot arm would also mean it could do many other tasks. Imagine if a robotic arm helped someone who cannot move their hands well whilst picking up objects. A more versatile robotic arm would be able to do what the human cannot. With this more versatile arm, many lives would be changed and supported. In all, versatile robotic arms are the best step forward in the industrial robotic arm industry.
