Design and Development of Wireless Control of Pneumatic Actuated Robotic Arm

Abstract

A Pneumatic robotic arm is a type of pick and place robot what is usually used for transferring goods/products from one place to another constantly. There are many types of pick and place robots based on their applications. In this robot we have used pneumatic cylinders for the movement of robot. In Pneumatic application the pressurized air plays a vital role. The main motive of the robot is to reduce the consumption of electricity, increase productivity in Industries that requires repetitive and precise movements, reduce human errors. The successful implementation of the pneumatic pick and place robot system will potentially lead to cost saving, increased production capacity, and enhanced overall performance in manufacturing processes. The robot utilizes pneumatic actuators and solenoid valves to perform various tasks. The system will be controlled by microcontroller and programmed to execute specific commands. Grippers are attached at the end of an industrial arm robot for material handling purpose.
