Design of a Claw Based Robotic Arm using 3D Printing Technology for Salvage Operations

Abstract
This project focuses on the design and development of a claw based robotic arm utilizing 3D printing technology to enhance salvage operations in hazardous or hard-to-reach environments. The claw mechanism is integral to the system, providing precision, strength, and adaptability for tasks such as lifting, gripping, and retrieving objects from dangerous locations, including underwater, disaster zones, or areas containing toxic materials. By incorporating 3D printing technology, the design enables customization and rapid pro to typing of parts, ensuring a lightweight and durable structure optimized for specific salvage missions. Key benefits of using 3D printing in this robotic arm design include cost-efficiency, modularity, and environmental adaptability, allowing for quick replacements and modifications as needed. The arm is equipped with servo motors and actuators for precise control. Its multi-joint structure offers flexibility and range of motion, allowing the robotic arm to function effectively in confined or challenging spaces. This project explores the mechanical design, control systems, and material choices necessary for the successful deployment of this robotic arm in salvage operations, demonstrating the potential of3D-printed robotics in improving the efficiency, safety, and effectiveness of recovery tasks in extreme conditions.
