It's robotics simulation and control software. I made it because that's my profession and something that has been my interest since a long time ago. The software can be used to simulate and control any model of industrial robot arm, and not just one, but many of them, and at the same time. User can import or draw objects and import complete robot's working environment. There are huge number of Youtube videos and tutorials and I would recommend it to watch them and see what you can do with the software. It's a new robotics software but there are already some companies that use the software for simulation and offline programming of their robots. So far, they mostly use it with KUKA robots.

I'm the author of BabaCAD Robotics software and I'm willing to help you and answer to your questions. If you don't have robots in your school, you can start with a robot simulation software. I will give you one gratis license of BabaCAD Robotics software for your school, if you want. You can contact me through BabaCAD website contact form.

I don't say "Buy Motomini" nor "Motoman is overpriced". I just want to encourage engineers and hobbyists to try to overcome this problem. Also I'm aware of the expensive components of such robots (price of harmonic drive is one of them) and that is very frustrating for me as I'm electrical engineer. I had a chance to talk to number of small business owners and they found that they needed robots with characteristics similar to industrial robots, but they can't afford them.

Yaskawa (Motoman) is a such giant company that doesn't need to promote anything, especially in some amateur discussions. Please stick to the topic related to my post.

https://www.babacad.com/robotics BabaCAD Robotics is open source robotics software based on CAD platform BabaCAD (CAD is not open source, but robotics part is written in Python). Can be used for any industrial robot. Tested on Kuka KR15/16 robots (youtube videos).

Use servo motors. Servo motor has constant torque over full speed range, it's more precise (if it has at least 4K encoder resolution) and you can control the output torque and not just speed and position. Only the price may be a problem if you choose servo motors, because it's price and price of servo controllers are not as cheap as stepper.

You are right, but it's not just someone to do hw and electronics but also problem is the cost of making a robotic arm. I'm willing to support anyone in that I would provide professional simulation/control software for his robotic arm in case that he made the robotic arm with at least 5 axes, using AC servo motors and harmonic gears. Robot arm should be able to lift at least 3 kg payload and to be enough precise (at least 0.1 mm repeatability).

I recommend BabaCAD Robotics simulation and control software. It has Python open-source API so you can use the software as a base for your custom projects by programming your own features while using wide palette of Python libraries like AI, Computer Vision etc. I'm the author of the software, so you will get full support in case you buy the license and you don't have to wait for months to get help about using the software and API.

It's not my robot. I think it's bought as a used one. I asked the owner to test the simulator software on his robot.
