Robotic Arm Manipulator Mechanical Design

As a final project in my CAD course at UCLA, I worked with a team of four to design a 6‑DOF robotic arm inspired by the flexibility of an octopus tentacle. We built a modular assembly (base, stand, forearm, wrist, and grabber) that mixed off‑the‑shelf components with custom 3D‑printed ABS parts, aiming for something that was lightweight, low-cost, and easy to put together.
