General decription:
It is a robotic arm, consisting of 6 motors allowing life-like movements and 3D printed elements. The use of rivets makes the assembly, modification and reassembly easy. Ergo Jr comes with three tools for different interactions with its environment: a lampshade, a gripper and a pen holder.
The robot is controlled with a Raspberry Pi board, and a camera helps it interact with the world.
Everything in the robot is let transparent and accessible to promote an educative approach and interactive technology.
The Poppy project is a community-centered robotic project. It targets the needs of a multidisciplinary community where researchers, teachers, artists, and robotic enthusiasts can share their work and ideas.
