Introduction

This project allows users to control a robotic arm from anywhere in the world using a website 🌐. The website provides a control panel 🕹 and a 3D viewport 🏗, which >shows the live movement of the arm in a virtual world 🌎.

I created this project to learn more about robotics 🤖 and web development 💻. I hope that others will find it useful and inspiring 💡.

The project is still under development, but it is already functional 🟢. I plan to add more features in the future, such as the ability to control multiple arms 🤖 and the ability to interact with the environment 🌍.

The code for the project is available on GitHub 🚀. I welcome anyone to contribute to the project or to use it for their own purposes. 💡

Features

• 3D viewport: 🏗️ The project provides a 3D viewport that allows users to see the live movement of the arm in real time ⏱️. This makes it easy to control the arm and to see the results of their actions.

• Position recording: 💾 The project also allows users to record the position of the arm for later use. This can be useful for tasks such as repeating a sequence of movements or for creating a training dataset. 📚

• Remote control: 🌐 The project can be controlled from anywhere in the world. This makes it possible to use the arm from a remote location, such as from a different room or from another country. 🌍

Setup

• configure the connection to Node server :

  In src --> redux --> arm_slice.jsx : Change the value of get_SERVER_URL with your server url or localhost url.

• Configure ESP32 wifi SSID and PASSWORD :

  In IOT_Arm.ino file change SSID (network name) and Password (network Password) with your network credientials.

  In IOT_Arm.ino file change server with your node server URL
