Smart robotic arm development (pick & place robo) for domestic applications – A new concept in working of automated machines

Abstract

In this paper, a smart robotic arm development (pick & place robo) for domestic applications – A new concept in working of automated machines, i.e., a hardware prototype is developed. In recent years the industry and daily routine works are found to be more attracted and implemented through automation via Robots. The pick and place robot is one of the technologies in manufacturing industries which is designed to perform pick and place operations. The system is so designed that it eliminates the human error and human intervention to get more precise work. There are many fields in which human intervention is difficult but the process under consideration has to be operated and controlled this leads to the area in which robots find their applications. Literature suggests that the pick and place robots are designed, implemented in various fields such as; in bottle filling industry, packing industry, used in surveillance to detect and destroy the bombs etc. The project deals with implementing a pick and place robot using Robo-Arduino for any pick and place functions. The pick and place robot so implemented is controlled using RF signal. The chassis is supported for the displacement of robotic arm by four Omni wheels. The robotic arm implemented has two degrees of freedom. Many other features such as line follower, wall hugger, obstacle avoider, metal detector can be added to this robot for versatility of usage. The work presented here is the mini-project work of the second sem students of electronics & communication engineering department of dayananda sagar college of engg., bangalore.
