Desktop robotic arm with interchangeable end effectors

This is a small robotic arm designed for a desk, featuring a base, a central tower, and two articulated arms that move using multiple joints. It's built to swap out different tools at its end, allowing it to perform various tasks. The claims primarily cover the arm's basic mechanical structure and an optional slot on the tower for external modules that can add functionality to the attached tools.

Why it matters: The 'program-controlled' aspect and potential for a 'training function' are significantly easier to implement now due to advances in embedded processing power, open-source robotics software, and machine learning for motion planning since 2017. Miniaturized and standardized modules for the end effectors are also more readily available.

Status: Not in forceListed as no longer active. The specific reason is not in the record we hold.
How hard to build: SpecializedPrecision mechanics, real-time control software, custom electronics.
