Arduino or Genuino (as known in some places), has become a very rewarding option especially for students who want to design their first projects.<\/p>\n\n\n\n<p>Here we have compiled a list of seven Arduino Robotic Arm project ideas that are cool to design. If you have been playing with Arduino for some time or are planning to buy one, these should come in handy.<\/p>\n\n\n\n<p>Even if you are a beginner and just getting started with Arduino, don\u2019t worry. Each of the following DIY Arduino Robot Arm projects comes with a detailed step-by-step tutorial plus a video on how to do it yourself and includes circuit schematics, source codes for your help.<\/p>\n\n\n\n<h2 class=\"wp-block-heading\" id=\"0-1-wireless-glove-controlled-robotic-arm-\"><strong>1.
