Arduino-Based Smart Cooking ARM

Abstract

Cooking Arm is a simple and smart robotic arm designed to automate basic kitchen tasks. It uses lightweight 3D-printed parts, strong MG996R/MG995 servo motors, and a small 5V DC motor for actions like stirring or rotating utensils. A 12V adaptor powers the system, while an LM2596 buck converter safely regulates voltage. The Arduino Uno controls all movements through programmed signals, allowing the arm to mimic basic human hand actions smoothly. This project shows how low-cost, Arduino-based robots can help in everyday life. It is built with safety, simplicity, and affordability in mind and can perform tasks such as stirring, flipping small items, and moving light utensils.
