^Modifying cheap servos so that a robot arm can repeatedly insert a pencil lead. It's a lot of work though.
Most interesting application though fall out of the scope of old-fashioned robotic arms, i.e. when you need to sense the real world in a non controlled context. For instance to develop a robot that can trim wilted flowers, you'll need to measure the real world, and as soon as you do that, you can just sense your robot arm too, no need for fancy, ultra-precise actuators.
Look at this BOM: https://docs.google.com/document/d/1_3yhWjodSNNYlpxkRCPIlvIA...
Do you really need the $6,129.95 & $3,549.95 robot arms for the kind of application described ? I doubt it. I'm not a robotician, and would love some feeback on this idea.

RpiMotorLib

1 297 5.3 Python

A python 3 library to connect various motor systems to a raspberry pi single board computer
WorkOS

The modern identity platform for B2B SaaS. The APIs are flexible and easy-to-use, supporting authentication, user identity, and complex enterprise features like SSO and SCIM provisioning.
AeroVECTOR

1 98 2.1 Python

Model Rocket Simulator oriented to the design and tuning of active control systems, be them in the form of TVC, Active Fin Control or just parachute deployment algorithms on passively stable rockets. It is able to simulate non-linear actuator dynamics and has some limited Software in the Loop capabilities. The program computes all the subsonic aerodynamic parameters of interest and integrates the 3DOF Equations of Motion to simulate the complete flight.
