Join Milos as he builds a simple SCARA robot arm and explores the fundamentals of robotics through practical engineering. From robot arm configurations and direct and inverse kinematics to firmware development, Python control software and motion planning, the project shows how mathematical concepts translate into real-world movement. Using a Raspberry Pi Pico 2 W, hobby servos and a custom GUI, the robot is able to move to coordinates, follow trajectories and even draw shapes, providing a hands-on introduction to robotic control systems, calibration and coordinate-based motion.
