Scara robot

This SCARA robot was entirely designed and built as a personal project, with a strong focus on cost optimization and resourcefulness. Most mechanical and electronic components were salvaged from a disassembled Anet A8 3D printer, including the motherboard and power supply unit, repurposed for motion control. The mechanical structure combines: Aluminum extrusion profiles for the main frame 3D printed parts for joints, brackets, and custom fittings Turned shafts machined on a lathe for precise rotating joints Custom inverse kinematics software was developed from scratch, enabling the robot to reach a defined point in space and perform pick operations autonomously.
