I’m developing a compact robot that can reach any spot on a phone or tablet and deliver a crisp, repeatable tap. The mechanism only needs two degrees of freedom, but accuracy should stay within ±0.5 mm because its primary job is tapping on a touchscreen. At the end of the arm sits a fine-point precision stylus—no pressure sensing or swap-out tips required, just a stable, narrow contact surface that won’t scratch glass. Control comes from an ESP32. I’ll load movement scripts and real-time commands over both Wi-Fi and Bluetooth, and the whole unit should idle at low power when inactive. A small camera mounted beside the stylus feeds live images; your vision code will translate screen cues into X-Y coordinates so the arm can adjust taps on the fly. The robot must clamp securely to a desktop yet rotate for overhead use on handheld phones, so please include a versatile mounting solution. Deliverables • 3D CAD and mechanical drawings for the 2-axis arm, base, and mount • ESP32 schematic, PCB files, and documented firmware (Wi-Fi, Bluetooth, low-power modes) • Computer-vision software that pinpoints tap targets from the camera feed • Bill of materials with off-the-shelf parts • Assembly guide and short demo video proving accurate taps on a tablet Use widely available steppers/servos and keep the design serviceable; I want to build a second unit without hunting specialty parts. Milestones can follow design, firmware, vision integration, and final test phases—let’s iterate quickly and get a reliable prototype in hand.

Your project combines precision robotics, embedded systems, computer vision, and mechanical design into a compact real world automation platform, exactly the kind of multidisciplinary engineering work I enjoy and specialize in. Please take a look at my portfolio: https://www.freelancer.in/u/Jenil01 I am a Mechatronics Engineer with hands on experience in robotics, ESP32 systems, CAD design, computer vision, and automation, including development of my 8 wheeled autonomous rover (Robofest 3.0 finalist) where I worked on mechanical integration, embedded control, and sensor guided navigation. For your touchscreen tapping robot, I can help with: • Designing a compact 2 DOF robotic arm optimized for ±0.5 mm tapping precision. • Creating the full CAD assembly including adjustable desktop clamp and overhead rotation mount. • Developing the ESP32 based control system with Wi-Fi, Bluetooth, and low power operation modes. • Designing the required PCB and schematic using readily available components and serviceable architecture. • Implementing computer vision integration (OpenCV/ESP32 compatible pipeline) to convert camera feedback into accurate X Y tap coordinates. My design approach focuses on precision, compactness, reliability, and manufacturability, ensuring the system is practical to reproduce and maintain. I’m ready to iterate quickly and collaborate closely until the prototype performs reliably. Best regards, Jenil Dodiya (Robotics Engineer)

Hi, Achieving a sustained ±0.5 mm accuracy on a touchscreen using a standard 2-axis swing-arm with budget servos is a mechanical impossibility due to gear backlash. If you want true, repeatable precision, we must discard the swing-arm concept. I am an Embedded Systems and Computer Vision Architect. Here is my blueprint to build this system reliably within your budget: 1. Mechanical Architecture (The Precision Base): > Instead of a flawed robotic arm, I will design a compact 2-Axis Linear Guide (CoreXY style) mechanism. This guarantees sub-millimeter precision. To keep your BOM low, I will utilize standard, easily sourceable 3D printed components and NEMA steppers. 2. The Brain (Custom ESP32): > I will design the schematic and custom PCB around an ESP32 to handle the motor kinematics and G-code translation, paired with a seamless WiFi/Bluetooth interface for coordinate input. 3. Computer Vision & Auto-Calibration: > I will write a Python-based Vision script (utilizing OpenCV/YOLO). This will allow a mounted camera to dynamically map the phone's screen, calculate offsets, and translate visual UI elements into exact X-Y physical coordinates for the stylus to tap. I provide the complete R&D package: the CAD assembly, the ESP32 firmware, custom PCB schematics, and the Vision software. Send me a message. Let's build a machine that actually hits the target in the real world, not just in theory.

Hello, I’m interested in developing your touchscreen tapping robot and have experience in embedded systems, robotics, motion control, computer vision, and custom hardware development. Your project combines several disciplines including mechanical design, ESP32 firmware, wireless communication, precision motion control, and camera-based coordinate mapping. I can design a compact 2-axis robotic arm capable of accurate touchscreen interaction using a precision stylus, along with a stable desktop mounting system that supports both fixed and overhead operation. My proposed workflow includes: • Mechanical design and 3D CAD modeling of the arm, base, stylus holder, and mounting system • Electronics design including ESP32-based controller, motor drivers, power management, and custom PCB • Firmware development with Wi-Fi, Bluetooth, script execution, and low-power idle modes • Computer vision software using OpenCV for screen target detection and coordinate mapping • Calibration and kinematic control for accurate tap positioning • Complete BOM, assembly documentation, and prototype validation To achieve the requested ±0.5 mm accuracy, I would use rigid mechanics, precision actuators, and a calibration procedure that compensates for camera and mounting offsets. I would be happy to discuss actuator selection, expected workspace, tablet sizes, and performance targets before finalizing the architecture. Looking forward to discussing the project further. Best regards
