MIPS Modular Robotic Arm
MIPS is a modular robotic arm system designed to teach high school students hardware, programming, and system integration fundamentals. Each joint is powered by a self-contained microcontroller module, communicating over a custom serial bus to a central, swappable Arduino hub. This plug-and-play design lets students prototype functional robotic arms without the barrier of soldering or advanced fabrication — focusing instead on creativity, iteration, and learning core engineering concepts.
