ROBOTIC LIMB CONSTRUCTION

The building of the robotic limb was a new experience that took a while to adjust to and complete. This robotic limb is a similar less professional replica to actual robotic limbs as it is made of plastic and is not as easy to control and maneuver. When I began to build the robotic limb, everything seemed pretty complicated and I did not understand what I was doing. However, as I gradually completed more and more of it, I got the hang of what part accomplishes what action and how the different movements of the robot could be used in an actual robotic surgery. I would have to put the wires in their respective positions which was tricky to get used to but it all made sense once they were connected to each other. I was even able to attach a flashlight in between the pinchers that would be used to handle everything in order to replicate a scenario where a surgeon would have to operate in a darker area of a patient's body where light would be very limited. When I finished building the robot, I completed the build of the controller that would be used to maneuver the robotic limb. When I finished the building process it was easy to compare it to an actual robotic surgical device as it could rotate in different directions and use its pincers on different objects.
