We like our robots cute, functional, and fun – and this DIY project, the MeArm Pocket Sized Robot Arm fulfills all those criterias and more. The MeArm kit is an open source robot arm by Phenoptix that’s designed to work the Arduino (or any microcontroller that can drive hobby servos) to give you a moving, grasping robotic arm.
The arm itself is lightweight – weighing just 225 grams – and super small. It’s still a work in progress, more tutorials and examples are coming out, so we suggest it for people who are comfortable with tweaking the open source code & design files to meet their needs.
