摘要

SCARA manipulators are advantageous for their high-speed, precise, and repeatable operations, making them ideal for tasks requiring meticulous handling. This study introduces a Educational SCARA Manipulator tailored for robotics training in academic settings. Designed to be affordable and safe, it serves as a cost-effective alternative to traditional industrial models. Featuring a modular design with 3D-printed and easily accessible components, assembly and maintenance are simplified. Experimental evaluations demonstrate its reliable movement and effective collision detection, confirming its suitability for educational use. By combining accessibility with functionality, the study highlights the potential of affordable robotics platforms to enhance educational outcomes, providing hands-on experience in automation and robotics fields.
