Abstract

The general objective of the current paper research is to gather information within the mechanical and programming field to develop and manufacture a functional robot structure which could serve as an educational purpose to help students to better understand what robotics is about. The specific objectives, namely designing, 3D printing, use of a CNC machine, achieving the necessary components, assembling, all lead to an end where a fully functional robot is to be found with which the students can experiment and gain experience.
