Robot Arm
NXP’s Motion Control and Robotics solution provides computing performance, embedded connectivity, low latency and a real-time open source operating system to address the requirements for multi-axis motion control and robotics applications. This solution is based on an i.MX RT1050, which controls four stepper motors that activate a different kind of movement of the robotic arm for the 3D printer to function.
