Two-Link Revolute Robot

Robotics, rapid fabrication, PID control

Fast-to-print two-link arm controlled with MATLAB PID loops.

Built a simple two-link revolute robot with a focus on rapid fabrication. Each printed part was designed to take under 20 minutes to manufacture, enabling fast iteration and assembly. The arm was driven by a TI microcontroller and controlled through MATLAB-based PID tuning.

The build emphasizes quick mechanical iteration paired with stable control, making it a compact testbed for motion control experiments.
