This repo contains code that we used to achieve robotic arm actuation using R, presented during the rstudio::conf(2022) conference. In this presentation, we used the open source ME arm robotics kit. A guide on how to assemble the arm can be found here. Note: The design of the me Arm varies between different versions, ensure the assembly guide you follow is appropriate to the me arm robotics kit you have. We got our me Arm kit from this site. Incase you have access to a laser cutting machine, you can download the design schematics from instructables and build the arm from scratch.
ME ARM Kit
The key concepts we used to achieve this were:
- audio recording and transcription
- image processing
- Inverse kinematics
- Serial link communication
Each of this sections is elaborated in detail at the the talk's website:
