CHAP Robot V1
Published on Mar 17, 2017
The video shows first design of teleoperated mobile robotic manipulator produced in the Cheap Arm Project (CHAP).
It costs less than $2000, uses easily available parts and can be assembled by anybody with basic technical skills. The manipulator can reach objects from floor-level up to shelves at a height of 170cm using a new low-cost arm design. Teleoperation is done using a tablet, smartphone or browser. The cost could be further reduced by using different servomotors. The design and assembly instructions are made available on the open-source repository GitHub, with the hope that the community will build and improve the design.
