WORK IN PROGRESS!!
AboutIRAS is my self-made robot arm, designed to have a large work envelope and high carrying capacity. With IRAS I compete at Jugend-Forscht, a German science competition. Many parts are made from machined aluminium and 3d-printed.
IRAS is used to do research regarding intuitive control of industrial robotic arms. IRAS won’t be a stand alone robot arm but rather a system of the IRAS arm itself and many accessories for easy and intuitive control. However the foundation for my research is a capable robotic arm.
This robot arm is the second one I build, with the old one beeing fully 3d-printed, but still fairly large. With IRAS I want to achieve a carrying capacity of over 8kg with a work envelope exceeding 1 metre and a sub millimetre repeatability.
The precision and strenght is achieved by aluminium parts machined by JLCCNC.
Special thanks to JLCCNC, who machined those great looking parts, as well as Nabtesco, who support this project too.
(Disclaimer: This project is still in an early stage, and files aren’t accessible yet. The competition will be in the first quarter of 2026. This webiste will be constantly updated, as soon as new content is available)
