Hardcoded control for robotic arm

Inspiration

This project was inspired by a simple but important goal: making the robotic arm move successfully. We wanted to first build a working control pipeline with hardcoded logic, and then use it as a foundation for future improvements such as camera-based feedback and real-time control.

What it does

Enable the robotic arm to move successfully and avoid the obstacle

How we built it

Hardcoded control

Challenges we ran into

1. It was difficult to deal with sensors
2. It was hard to make Gravity and Physics work inside the simulator
3. We had to go through source code as there was no documentation

Accomplishments that we're proud of

We are beginners and it was great to have something working.

What we learned

We learned that getting the robotic arm to move successfully is already an important first step. We also learned that hardcoded control works well as a starting point, but it has limitations when the task or environment changes. This made us realize that adding a camera and real-time feedback would be very valuable for making the system smarter and more responsive.

What's next for Hardcoded control for robotic arm

In the future, we plan to integrate a camera so that the joint states of the robotic arm can be obtained in real time, enabling real-time operation and control.
