About

Anjani Kumar is a robotics engineer whose work centers on accessible, microcontroller-driven automation. His most influential contribution is the development of a 5 Degree of Freedom (DOF) robotic arm controlled by an Arduino Uno, detailed in his 2017 paper "Arduino controlled robotic arm." This project, which has garnered 37 citations, demonstrates a practical, low-cost approach to robotics by using potentiometers for user input and servomotors to actuate four rotary joints and an end effector. Kumar’s key achievement lies in democratizing robotic manipulation—his design makes complex, multi-joint arm control achievable for hobbyists, students, and researchers without expensive industrial equipment. By integrating open-source hardware with intuitive analog control, he has provided a foundational blueprint for educational robotics and prototyping. This work highlights his broader focus on bridging the gap between theoretical control systems and tangible, hands-on implementation. Kumar’s research continues to inspire accessible automation solutions, proving that sophisticated robotic tasks can be accomplished with minimal resources, thereby lowering the barrier to entry for innovation in mechatronics and embedded systems.
