Mechatronic arm system for engineering education

A mechatronic arm of which:

• The mechanical frame which comprises all components necessary for the structure of the arm and excluding the screws, nuts, motors, and mounting hub is 3D printed and is assembled and disassembled when paired with the excluded components with an instructional manual detailing the assembly process,
• Components of the mechanical frame are purposefully created with flaws with the intent that said flaws be used to educate on why their designs are not advantageous comparable to an already known, more effective design and of which are not significantly debilitating to the movement capabilities such that the system cannot perform structured movements on all degrees of freedom,
• Electronic components are assembled and disassembled with the use of an instructional manual and consist of a solderless breadboard, jumper wires, motor drivers, and a microcontroller which serves as the principal unit of program execution,
• The accompanying instructional manual actively accentuates the engineering principles attempting to be conveyed by the device's design features at the appropriate steps of the assembly process,
• The sole purpose is to be used as a complementary educational tool for conveying mainly concepts in mechanical, electrical, and/or computer engineering in a formal educative setting.
