We are a group of six students from the University of Leeds working on a project to design and build an autonomous robotic arm with two degrees of freedom. The team comprises of two Aerospace, one Mechatronics, one Medical and two Mechanical Engineering students. The project is designed to aid physiotherapeutic research within the engineering department. Medical Robotics is one of the school’s research areas and this task will be used to strengthen our links between teaching and research.

Calculations
These are the angles we calculated for both joints of the arm to enable the end point to achieve all five positions on the pentagram. The expressions for beta and alpha determine the total angle which must be completed by each link for each step.
