Project: Simple Inverse Kinematics Robotic Arm 

This project involves building a small robotic arm that demonstrates basic inverse kinematics (IK) principles. The arm will have 3-4 degrees of freedom (DOF) and will be controlled using an Arduino and servo motors. Users will input a desired position for the end effector (e.g., a small gripper or pointer), and the IK algorithm will calculate the necessary joint angles to move the arm accordingly.

Key Features:

• Structure: 3D-printed or laser-cut frame with servo-driven joints.

• Control: Arduino microcontroller with basic IK calculations.

• User Input: Simple interface (buttons, potentiometers, or serial input) to set target positions.

• Demonstration: Picking up objects, pointing at coordinates, or drawing simple shapes.

This project is beginner-friendly but introduces core robotics concepts, making it a great hands-on learning experience for the club.
