It has ten servomotors, six to control the arm and four to control the gripper. All ten servos are digital with metal/titanium gear. The arm's length, from shoulder to the gripper's centre, is about 18 inches or 52 centimetres.It's capable of lifting about 1kg. <p> <p> I also develop a software package to provide adaptive control for the robotic arm.
