A simple robot / Beginner

Let's Make Robots Projects Showcase

Hello everyone !

I’m new on this forum, and new robot maker !
(I’m French, so in case of mistake, sorry for the bad English)

My project “seems” simple to me.
I’d like to built a robot to push the 2 buttons of my electric shutter, robot which should be commanded by a remote control.

My idea is to hand the robot at the wall, next to the button.
The robot should have 2 arms : 1 to push the upper button, and 1 to push the lower one.

I made you a gif in order to understan my vision :

So my question is simple : “How to do it !?”
No, more seriously, as I am a trully begginer whitin this discipline, I’d like to have some advice to make it.

Thanks to who read me !
Hav a nice day !

You do not need a full robotic arm - you only need an RC servo mounted between the two switches:

You only need an RC unit to rotate the servo:

One position of a joystick or knob on the remote control rotates the horn to press against one switch, center has it “neutral” so it does not press against either, and the opposite sense presses against the other switch.
If you do not want it manually controlled, then how would you control it?
