This document is an introduction to designing a multiple degree of freedom robotic manipulator. The goal of the robot is to sort an object based upon the objects color. The robot will be a synthesis of several linkages, servo motors, an Arduino system, and an end-effector. The design must be able to autonomously determine what object to move and where to place it. The robot will have a maximum reach of 24 horizontally. The operating conditions include being able to sort several different colored spheres within the area of a 180 up to 16 from the base of the arm. Sorting consists of picking up the object from a random position near the base and moving it to a storing location near the edge of the defined operating range. With the following performance criteria and a limited budget, the final design will enter a competition to determine the most robust, and effective robotic manipulator.
