Overview

A compact custom arm combining CNC parts, harmonic reducers and custom motor-control electronics. [S001]

The reviewed overview describes an aluminium CNC arm with harmonic reducers and custom electronics. A cheaper printed version with a different reducer is presented as future work. Its hoped-for cost below RMB 2,000 is a target for that redesign, not a verified price for the preserved original. [S001]

The repository contains mechanical models, hardware designs and firmware. Peak, the wireless teaching controller, is linked as a submodule, so a normal repository archive does not preserve that dependency's contents. The overview also says DummyStudio is distributed without a current plan to release its source. Downloadable software and available firmware therefore have different source coverage. [S001] [S004]

The command table distinguishes sequential SEQ and interrupting INT commands; TRJ trajectory tracking remains marked ToDo. Dynamics are also described as unfinished. Do not select this snapshot for a task that depends on those planned features without further implementation evidence. [S001]

No applicable project-wide license was established from the inspected root documents. Commercial reuse, a complete revision-matched parts list and a reproducible homing procedure remain unresolved. We have not manufactured, assembled or operated this arm.
