ESP32-Based IoT Robotic Arm

This project demonstrates the development of a smart robotic arm powered by ESP32, capable of performing real-time operations using both physical joystick control and a web-based interface. It integrates IoT technology to enable wireless control through WebSockets.

Key Features

  • Dual Control System (Joystick + Web Dashboard)
  • Real-time wireless control using WebSockets
  • Manual Path Programming & Playback
  • Adjustable Servo Speed Control
  • Live feedback and status monitoring

Technologies Used

  • ESP32 Microcontroller
  • Arduino IDE
  • WebSockets & ArduinoJson
  • HTML, CSS, JavaScript
  • Servo Motors (SG90/MG90)

Working

The ESP32 processes inputs from joystick modules or the web dashboard and converts them into servo movements. The robotic arm performs actions such as picking, placing, and automated motion sequences using programmed paths.
