A revolute coordinate arm I built to be mounted on my Social Machine, NINA. NINA will be a social machine designed and programmed to interact with humans and in the future will help me explore the idea of teaching those with communication disabilities like Autism and Asperger Syndrome to better socialize with their fellow human beings. The arm is modled after the human arm, will be able to shake hands, wave hello or goodbye, or move about in specific animatronic gestures as the robot is interacting with a human operator.
Act as a revolute coordinate arm for my Robot NINA to grasp objects (or shake hands, wave hello, etc...).
