RS Components has extended its Arduino development kit portfolio with the availability of the new TinkerKit Braccio, which delivers highly affordable robotics capability for the worldwide community of Arduino makers and developers, including students, hobbyists, artists, programmers and professionals.
The Braccio is a fully operational robotic arm that is designed for desktop use and connects to an Arduino board for control functions. Designed for versatility, users can assemble it in a number of different ways to meet application requirements.
The arm integrates six servo motors for positional control, enabling it to pick up and move objects. It can also be used to support a wide variety of objects for different applications – for example, as an automated tracking camera mount or a solar panel positioner to track the sun, or to mount a mobile phone or tablet to follow attendees on a videoconference. Braccio offers a load capacity of up to 400 g in the minimal configuration and a maximum weight of 150 g at an operating distance of 32 cm.
Ideally suited to academic experimentation or for new technology projects, the Arduino TinkerKit range is the perfect platform to prototype Arduino-based designs without the need for breadboards or soldering irons. The TinkerKit delivers a simple and quick setup including sensor and actuators that connect to the TinkerKit interface and the Arduino control board via the Arduino sensor shield.
Braccio is compatible with a wide range of Arduino control boards including the UNO, UNO SMD, UNO WiFi, Due, Mega 2560, Ethernet, Leonardo, Leonardo ETH, M0, M0 Pro, Yún and Tian. In addition, by using the Arduino UNO WiFi, Leonardo Ethernet, Yún or Tian, the robotic arm can be controlled via a PC or smartphone.
