control of robotic arm

hi ppl...

i'm very very new to de field of robotics tho i'm very interested in the subject as such. I would like to know what prerequisites should I have so as to go about the process of actually building a robot(or a prototype)...
I want to design the control of a robotic arm, like a robot that can pick up objects,say a sheet of paper. Is it possible to make it do something like that?
Could anyone tell me how to go about the process of learning robotics, i.e. where to start, which books to read etc.?

thanks a lot!
 

Re: control of robotic arm

Hi,
There are lot of threads on this forum.
.
You have to decide on how many joints for the arm, then some type of gripper. Some microcontroller like pic to control the servo motors. One servo motor for each limb.A software for writing the program - like pic basic. a programmer to program the micro controller. Control of the arm - pc, sensors, wireless etc. the weight and type of object to be lifted ( torque output of servo's) and many more aspects.
