1Arduino UNO board, Figure 4 [22]This piece is considered to be the basis of the project, and it is this on which any electrical project that comes to the human mind is built.
2Breadboard, Figure 5 [22]A breadboard is a solderless tool used to test circuit layouts and model-wide equipment. Most electronic sections in electronic circuits can be coupled by inserting their leads or terminals into the apertures and then forming connections with wires where appropriate.
3Joystick, Figure 6 [23]This joystick is a component that communicates directly with the user by issuing commands to move the robotic arm right, left, backward and forward. Each analog channel (axis) can have values ranging from 0 to 1023. The value of analog is roughly 512 when the joystick is in the center position. It is used to control the movement of the arm in all directions.
4Robotic arm, Figure 7 [24]The robotic arm consists of two servo motors. The robotic arm can be moved along the X and Y axis in both negative and positive (2-D) using a joystick.
5Male-female jumper wires, Figure 8 [9]Male-female jumper wires are used to connect all components with UNO.
6Cable, Figure 9 [9]This cable is used to link a computer with UNO.
7Servo motor, Figure 10 [25]This piece is the basis of the movement of the arm in all directions.
8Camera, Figure 11 [8]A 5-meter wired camera is installed on the head of the robotic arm and is connected to the dentist’s phone or laptop.
