Reverse engineer 5 degrees of freedom robot arm using programmable logic controller

Many types of robot arms have been developed in the market. Whenever a robot arm broke down, it is a challenge to do reverse engineer and repair the robot arm. This project has successfully reused the existing 5 degrees of freedom robot arm structure and electronic components while replacing the con...
