Design of an affordable IoT open-source robot arm for online teaching of robotics courses during the pandemic contingency.

ABSTRACT: This article explains the design and construction of an affordable, open-source robot arm for online teaching of robotics courses. The main goal of the proposed robotic prototype is to deal with the current situation of pandemic contingency, where students and instructors cannot attend laboratory facilities in person. The robotic system has four main components: an electromechanical robot arm structure, a control system, a Wi-Fi communications module, and a human-machine interface. The IoT (Internet of Things) robot arm can be used to demonstrate important robotics topics such as direct and inverse kinematics, which are shown by programming simple and complex motions using the Denavit-Hartenberg (DH) methodology. The capabilities of the robotic system are empowered by IoT technology, which
