Hi,
I am a newbie in robotics and am clueless abt lotz of things
Have some enquries:
1) Suppose I'm building a robotic gripper which can grip and hold objects of about 320g, would it be better to use stepper/ servo motors?
I've heard that DC motors can do the job with some gears (is it true?).. In this case which motor would be the most ideal?
(Note: suppose the robot is small-sized, abt 20x20cm)
2) What's the significance of servo having limited rotation and the stepper having full rotation? In this case, suppose i'm using servo motor, how do i modify the motor such that it can have a complete rotation?
3) Is there any ingenius idea that can allow a square base to rotate on the ground without any translation? juz pure rotation abt an axis.. ie.. what kind of wheel configuration should i have?
4) Finally, any tips on building a robot?
Deeply grateful for any responses
