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的机械臂的初步开发，重点是实现利基高精度行业的自动化。该产品将通过提供显著的技术进步和提高英国制造商利用该产品的效率来推动可持续的英国制造业。目标应用行业中的机器人自动化几乎不存在;因为没有商业上可用的机器人具有满足功能要求所需的准确性或稳定性。机器人的使用是非常有限的，功能上局限于拾取和放置在这个部门，不满足客户的要求，并作为一个重大障碍，采用机器人。该项目是设计和制造一个概念验证原型的一个部分的机器人手臂，以满足这些需求。该部分由肩关节、肘关节和它们之间的连接组成。该原型测试系统的要求是否可以满足，以及需要进一步的发展。这三个部分的性能可以用来确定整个系统的性能，因为它们对整个系统的精度和稳定性有最大的影响，其他接头和连杆的结构也有许多相似的方面。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产品。
