PLA is polylactic acid, a biodegradable (under correct conditions) thermoplastic derived
from renewable resources such as corn starch or sugarcane. PLA filament is easy to use
and environmental friendly.
2.2.2 Electronic Design
The servo used for the joints is Annios 25 kg RC digital servo which has a large
torque that supports the movement of the fully automated robot. Other than that, four Citron
8-channels RC servo controller shields are used for each three of servos and an Uno Arduino
board is used to control the motion of the servos. The Arduino is powered by a 0.5 V battery
and the servos are powered using a 12 V LiPo battery.
