Wireless Pick and Place Robotic Arm Vehicle Using Arduino

Abstract

Robotics deals with the design of robots their manufacturing and applications. In recent years the industry and daily routine works are found to be more attracted and implemented through automation of Robots. Robot gained more importance in the modern era since it require less cost to operate than a human labor to do the same type task, also once programmed robot will perform better than an experienced human labor. Now a days industries are turning towards computer based monitoring of tasks mainly due to the need for the increased productivity and delivery of the final products with maximum quality. The pick and place robot is one of the technologies in manufacturing industries which is designed to perform pick and place operations. Due to the inflexibility and generally high cost of hard computerization systems lead to the use of industrial robots .The work is designed to develop a robotic arm vehicle with a soft catching gripper that is designed to avoid extra pressure on object. The robotic vehicle is arduino controlled. A robotic arm is designed using arduino to pick and place the objects via user commands. It will pick and place an object from source to destination safely. Based on the commands given by the user the robot moves accordingly. At the receiver end there are four motors interfaced with the micro controller. Two for the vehicle movement and the remaining two are for arm and gripper movement.
