Abstract

This article focuses on the design and development of a control system for a robotic arm designed at the Universidad de las Fuerzas Armadas, Latacunga extension, by using Dynamixel servomotors. The use of Python software, with advantages and features of being a free programming language, provides the project with reliability and ease of communication with a computer arm. The use of these techniques allow to obtain solutions much cheaper than the current ones by using open source software.
