Looking for a specific robot device

Hello,

Im looking for a robot that can be programmed to do a repeatable up and down movement. The simpler the better.

I’m trying to automate the motion that will move my babies bouncer chair:

Here is a video with the specifics: https://photos.app.goo.gl/BXAtqn2omn2kCZB16

Any product recommendations?

Thanks,
Noah

Hello @nlgordaz and welcome to the RobotShop community!

A nice option would be a linear actuator and you could use a microcontroller to program a sequence, and you might also need a relay.

I’m not sure how much torque you’ll need, but probably not that much, so maybe pay more attention to the speed, stroke and control options.

I hope that helps!

Thank you so much. Can you point me in the direction of the best tutorial specifically for putting this together?

These tutorials can help you out:

Do you know where I can just buy one that is already built?

Sadly, no.

But perhaps you could try with a servo and a digital programmer instead, that could be easier to set up.
