Automated Writing System using Arduino

Abstract

Time is a commodity that must be managed properly and efficiently to enhance production. As the process becomes more complicated and time-consuming, automation becomes a critical tool for performance and long-term growth. Automation, often known as labor-saving technology, is a technology allowing an operation to be done with minimum or almost no human incursion. Automation control refers to the use of various control systems to operate types of equipment and machinery in factories, boilers, and heat treatment furnaces, the connection of telephone networks, management and stabilization of ships, aircraft, and various other applications with or without human intervention. Higher rates of production along with enhanced productivity are typically braced by the process of automation. Efficient material usage, reduced work spans, shorter manufacturing lead times, a better quality of production and improvised safety are some other grounds favoured by automated processes. This study aims to develop an automated machine that would assist people with disabilities to write. The main aim is to be able to create a machine that would write on behalf of humans with much precision, would be error-free and save time as well as human efforts. The automatic writing machine is powered by two motors that allow the mechanical arm to move in two dimensions. A writing machine is a highly versatile piece of equipment designed to meet a broad range of requirements, specifically for graphics and writing. The automatic typewriter uses two motors to move the robotic arm, and its performance is based on this research, which is to control the movement of the x and y axes of the pen using the stepper motors, using an Arduino Nano microcontroller. After the actuation, the servo motor is used to control the vertical movement, that is, to move the pin up and down along the z-axis. Inscape and G-code are used to generate the drawings for use.
