Descreption
The claw was our very first and most ambitious design, however due to limitations of hardware available (namely the servos) our full objectives with this design could not be achieved.

The completed model is able to track and lift a dummy in any orientation. The camera, located inside the claw, is used to determine the location and orientation of the victim.Click here to see a video demonstration.

The entire arm consists of 5 servos working together.
