Thor: An Open-Source, 3D-Printable 6-DOF Robotic Arm for Education and Makers
Summary
Thor is an open-source, 3D-printable robotic arm with 6 degrees of freedom, designed to be affordable and accessible for educational settings, makers, and robotics enthusiasts. Standing 625mm tall and capable of lifting up to 750g, it uses a yaw-roll-roll-yaw-roll-yaw configuration common in industrial manipulators. The project provides comprehensive documentation for printing, assembly, electronics, and firmware, and is hosted on GitHub for community contribution.
