The project is the initial development of a new highly accurate and stable robotic arm used for high precision applications with a focus on automating a niche high precision industry. The product will advance sustainable UK manufacture by providing a significant technological advancement and improve the efficiency of UK manufacturers utilising it.Robotic automation within the target application industry is virtually absent; as there is no robot commercially available that has the required accuracy or stability to meet the functional requirements. Robotic use is highly limited and functionally confined to pick and place within this sector which does not fulfil the customer requirements and acts as a significant barrier to adoption of robotics.This project is to design and manufacture a proof-of-concept prototype of a subsection of the robotic arm to address these needs. The subsection consists of the shoulder joint, elbow joint and the link in between them. The prototype tests whether the system requirements can be met and what further developments are needed. The performance of these three subsections can be used to ascertain overall system performance as they have the greatest effect on overall system accuracy and stability, and the other joints and links will have many similar aspects to their construction.The successful production of a working prototype will allow the company to go on to seek external investment to further develop and commercialise the product.

该项目是用于高精度应用的新型高精度和稳定机械臂的初步开发，重点是利基高精度行业的自动化。该产品将通过提供重大的技术进步并提高英国制造商利用该产品的效率来推进可持续的英国制造。目标应用行业内几乎不存在机器人自动化；因为目前还没有商用机器人具有满足功能要求所需的精度或稳定性。机器人的使用受到高度限制，并且功能仅限于该领域内的拾取和放置，这不能满足客户的要求，并且成为采用机器人技术的重大障碍。该项目旨在设计和制造机械臂的一部分的概念验证原型，以满足这些需求。该分段由肩关节、肘关节以及它们之间的连接部分组成。原型测试是否可以满足系统要求以及需要进一步的开发。这三个分段的性能可用于确定整体系统性能，因为它们对整个系统的精度和稳定性影响最大，而其他接头和连杆的结构也有许多相似之处。工作原型的成功生产将使公司能够继续寻求外部投资，以进一步开发和商业化该产品。
