But what if there was a way to bridge that gap? This robot arm guide offers a guide to building a mini robotic arm using Arduino, complete with 3D-printed parts and easy-to-follow instructions.

The SunFounder Robotic Arm Edge Kit for Arduino is available in our deals store for just $54.99, have a look at the video below. Watch this video on YouTube.

Renard, in addition to his work as an instructor, is a software engineer and has built a robotic arm using Arduino and Raspberry Pi, among other technologies, experience he uses in his teaching.

He was able to use the robotic arm to pick up blocks, turn them, and move them to new locations. He was even able to open a cabinet, retrieve a cup, and hold it under a water dispenser.
