Hardware

 

The Main Hardware tools we used to design the surgical robotic arm are Arduino UNO Microcontroller, AL5B Robotic Arm, External Power Supply and Webcam.

The Arduino Uno is a microcontroller board based on the ATmega328. It has 14 digital input/output pins (of which 6 can be used as PWM outputs), 6 analog inputs, a 16 MHz crystal oscillator, a USB connection, a power jack, an ICSP header, and a reset button. It contains everything needed to support the microcontroller; simply connect it to a computer with a USB cable or power it with a AC-to-DC adapter or battery to get started.

The AL5B is a 5 DOF Robotic Arm.

The AL5B robotic arm delivers fast, accurate, and repeatable movement. The robot features: base rotation, single plane shoulder, elbow, wrist motion, a functional gripper, and optional wrist rotate. The AL5B robotic arm is an affordable system with a time tested rock solid design that will last and last.
