Objectives/Goals This project is designed for senior and disabled individuals by building a robot that is able to pick up objects and controlled by a wireless PS2 controller. Methods/Materials A robot with motors to be able to move and a motor for the claw was designed and built. It was then programmed in JAVA to be remote controlled.
