### AI overview

Arduino Blog describes Kelton Serra's redesigned robotic arm, which uses puppet-style control through potentiometers, an Arduino Nano ESP32, servo motors, and a servo driver board. The redesign aims to make the arm more affordable, easier to build, and better performing, with 3D-printable parts and upgraded wrist and gripper mechanics.

### Source excerpt

Robotic arms are extremely versatile, which is the entire point. But that versatility comes at the cost of complexity when it comes to programming and control. A few years ago, Kelton Serra from the Build Some Stuff YouTube channel simplified the situation by giving his custom robotic arm a puppet-style controller. Now he's back with [...] The post Redesigning a popular robotic arm appeared first on Arduino Blog.

### AI overview

The article describes a demonstration in which Forgis uses a foundation model running on an Arduino UNO Q board to convert voice commands into robotic-arm actions. The system processes multimodal factory data and performs inference locally, enabling real-time control without a cloud round trip.

### Source excerpt

For years, bringing real intelligence to industrial automation meant expensive infrastructure, proprietary systems, and steep learning curves. That's changing - fast. Foundation models powerful enough to run at the edge are turning natural language into machine control, and the factory floor is starting to look a lot more like a conversation. AI as the new [...] The post From voice command to robotic arm: how agentic AI on the edge is changing the factory floor appeared first on Arduino Blog.

### AI overview

This article explores how to build DUM-E-inspired workshop robots using a manufacturing configuration-management approach. It introduces ROS, Elementary Robotics' atom OS, Redis messaging, Docker-based component packaging, cameras, sensors, and machine learning, then begins outlining a fire-extinguisher robot.

### Source excerpt

DUM-E ("dummy") and U ("you") are the names of the robot arms in the Iron Man movies. After watching this movie for the n-teenth time, I have a strong urge to also have robotic arms in a workshop like Tony Stark. You can see the value of the robots clearly throughout the movie. The robots allow Tony to produce suits more quickly, help test the suits, and provide periodic comedic relief. At one point, DUM-E even saves Tony's life. As a bit of a thought experiment, I considered what it would take to get the same functionality in reality. What this ends up leading to is a configuration management system for manufacturing, much like a build system. This post is going to outline that a bit! The most popular open-source framework for building robots is ROS (Robotics Operating System). You can add different components like cameras or sensors and program all the functionality you need for your specific use case. The underlying infrastructure works by passing messages, through a pub/subsystem. Elementary Robotics created their own OS called atom. It's pretty cool, it uses Redis for the messaging layer and docker for packaging and defining the individual components. Need a camera on your robot? Include the camera container in your atom OS config file. You can then pipe the messages from the camera into machine learning in another container. It's important to know the basics of these frameworks to continue into how we would build DUM-E and U. Let's dive in. The end goal here is to be as productive as Tony Stark at building things. Fire extinguisher robot One of my favorite scenes with DUM-E is when Tony is testing the suits and it's DUM-E's job to blast him with a fire extinguisher when he is on fire. For comic relief in the movie, DUM-E messes this up a bunch and blasts Tony when he's not on fire. Let's break this down, starting with a robot that will shoot a fire extinguisher on any fire. First, what you would need is the robotic arm base, maybe you build your own, maybe it'
