The process and manufacturing industries have a lot of areas that are hazardous to direct human interaction. Therefore, development of a wirelessly controlled robotic arm akin to human skills is urgently needed in industrial applications. Further, the deployment of the Arduino Uno microcontroller platform has very promising features for designing mechatronic systems. So, it is proposed to develop a wirelessly controlled robotic arm. In this proposed article, a robot arm having the ability to move in four directions (up, down, left, and right) has been constructed. This controlled mobility is achieved with the help of a 4-DOF (Degree of Freedom) design deploying two types of servo motors, the SG90 and the MG996R. The Bluetooth module, HC- 05, is interfaced to achieve wireless communication. These devices are wired around the powerful electronic platform \"Arduino Uno microcontroller,\" and an Android-based application is deployed on a smart phone to control this robotic arm wirelessly. The prototype of the Wireless Robotic Arm (WRA) is designed and developed successfully in the laboratory for industrial applications, pick-and-place operations, and it works smoothly and has good repeatability.","PeriodicalId":191914,"journal":{"name":"i-manager's Journal on Mechanical Engineering","volume":"1 1","pages":"0"},"PeriodicalIF":0.0,"publicationDate":"1900-01-01","publicationTypes":"Journal Article","fieldsOfStudy":null,"isOpenAccess":false,"openAccessPdf":"","citationCount":null,"resultStr":null,"platform":"Semanticscholar","paperid":"129971858","PeriodicalName":null,"FirstCategoryId":null,"ListUrlMain":null,"RegionNum":0,"RegionCategory":"","ArticlePicture":[],"TitleCN":null,"AbstractTextCN":null,"PMCID":"","EPubDate":null,"PubModel":null,"JCR":null,"JCRName":null,"Score":null,"Total":0}

Aluminium is used as matrix and Silicon Carbide (SiC) and\u0000graphite (Gr) particles are used as reinforcements. The proposed Aluminium Metal Matrix Composites (AMMCs) was\u0000fabricated by stir-cast method. Aluminium A356 matrix and reinforcements of SiCp was varied from 0 to 9% by weights in\u0000steps of 3%, and addition of fixed quantity of 3% by weight of Gr particles. The castings were machined as per ASTM\u0000standard and T6-heat-treatment was carried out. Specimens were aged at different durations from 3 to 12 hrs in steps of 3\u0000hrs at a temperature of 155 ºC. The pin-on-disc wear testing machine was employed to evaluate the wear rate of the\u0000composites. As per the results, addition of reinforcement and aged at T6-9 hrs shows most wear resistance in all sliding tests.\u0000The increase in sliding speed with increase of wear rate was observed. The wear tested samples were examined using\u0000scanning electron microscope (SEM) and energy dispersive spectrum (EDS) and analysed.","PeriodicalId":191914,"journal":{"name":"i-manager's Journal on Mechanical Engineering","volume":"1 1","pages":"0"},"PeriodicalIF":0.0,"publicationDate":"1900-01-01","publicationTypes":"Journal Article","fieldsOfStudy":null,"isOpenAccess":false,"openAccessPdf":"","citationCount":null,"resultStr":null,"platform":"Semanticscholar","paperid":"116908468","PeriodicalName":null,"FirstCategoryId":null,"ListUrlMain":null,"RegionNum":0,"RegionCategory":"","ArticlePicture":[],"TitleCN":null,"AbstractTextCN":null,"PMCID":"","EPubDate":null,"PubModel":null,"JCR":null,"JCRName":null,"Score":null,"Total":0}
