This project implements a MATLAB-based graphical user interface (GUI) where the user specifies the initial and final end-effector positions and orientations. Using the Resolved Rate Algorithm, the program automatically computes a smooth trajectory for the six-degree-of-freedom robot in a simulated environment.

The code and design were downloaded. Just printed and assembled it because it's cool.
This Robotic arm is capable of providing repetitive motion. The design of the arms was downloaded from an online platform, and the control and code were developed individually.
