AB  - It is not uncommon for students in high school and college to design and build low cost robot arms.  This paper summarize the results of a undergraduate assignment to design and build a low cost robot arm, as well as a robot arm controller.  The robot arm controller uses accelerometers to control the motion of the robot arm. The robot arm controller can also be used to record and playback a sequence of motions for the arm.  The robot arm controller is Arduino Uno Micro-controller based to keep costs down. A serial interface is also implemented for the arm controller so the arm can be controlled from a PC. Mentor from industry guide the students in the design of their robot arm and controller. The mentor is also involved in evaluating the robot arm and similar designs for use with the Robotic Operating System (ROS) and Moveit software, for possible use of Moveit on future student projects. ROS and Moveit brings interesting functions for control of robot arms.  The Open Motion Planning Library (OMPL) is used by the Moveit, providing a variety of motion planning algorithms to control the students arm. A 3D Camera can be directly used by Moveit to provide obstacle avoidance functions to the robot arm. The results of the evaluation of Moveit is shown to the students in a video as well as the other results of the evaluation giving them insight to how an embedded sub-system they developed can interact as part of a complex system.
