Design of Components for a 3D Printed Assistive Robotic Arm Optimized for Precision Surgical Procedures
In recent years, advancements in medicine have revolutionized the accuracy, dexterity, and security of various medical and surgical procedures. These advancements have paved the way for the development sophisticated robotic arm mechanisms that offer improved capabilities and enhanced performance. The primary objective of this research paper is to create a comprehensive model of a robotic arm mechanism and implement it using a stepper motor while employing an Arduino as the main controller for seamless operation. By integrating these components, the robotic arm system aims to achieve precise and controlled movements in response to external inputs. This research paper presents the design and fabrication of components for a 3D-printed assistive robotic arm optimized for precision surgical procedures. The robotic arm is engineered to enhance surgical outcomes through advanced gesture recognition capabilities, enabling intuitive control and interaction. Key functionalities, such as water spray, cutting, and pick and place maneuvers, have been meticulously designed to meet the demands of the surgical environment. Using 3D printing technology and the.STL file format, the base, rotating base, and arm effectors were fabricated with a focus on durability, strength, and lightweight design. The study showcases the successful development of a multifunctional robotic arm with a remarkable 97 percent accuracy rate in executing predefined tasks.
