Need to reach that sneaky eraser just out of your reach across the table? Too lazy to get up and reach for that piece of paper for homework?
Well, here is the robot for you.
Built by a small company called UFactory, the uArm is a small version of the large industrial robot arms often seen in modern assembly lines. It’s about the size of a desk lamp and is controlled through an Arduino-compatible board. It also has a Windows program that lets you control the robot using a mouse or keyboard. The company is also working on smartphone apps as well.
uFactory plans to make its design files, hardware, and software open source at the end of its Kickstarter campaign, so we’ll be sure to see many Iron Man fans recreating this scene with their new robot arm pets.
