In this Blender tutorial, you’ll learn step by step how to rig and animate a robotic arm using armatures, bones, constraints, and Inverse Kinematics (IK). Perfect for beginners and anyone wanting to understand mechanical rigging in Blender.
What you’ll learn in this video:
How to set up bones for a robotic arm
Parenting parts of the mechanism to bones
Using Forward Kinematics (FK) vs Inverse Kinematics (IK)
Adding constraints to control movement
Animating a robotic arm to pick up and move an object
This tutorial covers everything from rigging to animation, so you can easily follow along. I’ve also included the download link for the robotic arm model in the description, so you can practice step by step.
