Description
Important Note: I Suggest You To Go To [Thor Github Repository](Https://Github.Com/Angellm/Thor) In Order To Download The Latest Design! If You Are Interested In This Project, Please Consider Joining [Our Mail List](Https://Groups.Google.Com/Forum/#!Forum/Thor-Opensource-3D-Printable-Robotic-Arm). Thor Is An Open Source And Printable Robotic Arm With Six Degrees Of Freedom, Designed Using Freecad. Its Configuration (Yaw-Roll-Roll-Yaw-Roll-Yaw) Is The Same One That Is Used On Most Manipulator Robots That Currently Exist In The Market. In Its Upright Position, Thor Is About 625Mm And It Can Lift Objects Up To 750 Grams. The Project Started A Year Ago As My Final Degree Project Called "Design And Startup Of An Open Source And Printable 6Dof Robotic Arm" But A Lot Of Things Have Changed Since The Presentation Day. The Main Purpose Of This Project Was To Create A Robotic Arm That Could Be Used In Universities And Schools To Teach Robotics Instead Of Using Simulation Software Or Low Accurate Models. Having This In Mind, The Final Prototype Had To Be Affordable And, Of Course, Open Source.
