To make the robotic arm automatically move and pick up an object, I would need to add computer vision to my project. Using the ESP32-CAM, I would write a program that analyzes the live video feed to detect a specific object. Once the object is identified, the program would calculate its coordinates in the camera's view. This information is then sent to the Arduino, which uses a process called inverse kinematics to determine the precise angles needed for each of the arm's servos. The Arduino then moves the arm to those calculated positions, allowing it to reach the object. Finally, a command is sent to the servo controlling the gripper, causing it to close and successfully pick up the item. This adds a layer of autonomous functionality to the project, allowing the arm to interact with its environment without direct manual control.
