Synopsis

My first robotics project, the purpose of this work was to assemble the Lynxmotion SES-V2 Robot Arm (3DoF) and use it to implement a color-based pick-and-place operation. In the process, I improved my understanding of:

• Robot Assembly

• Interfacing with servos

• Basic color detection

• Forward and Inverse Kinematics Derivation and Implementation

• Serial communication

• Project management
