This research is intended to design a robotic arm fully controlled by arduino platform over a safe distance through a mobile application. This robotic arm can be used in plenty of different industries or in areas which are unsafe for humans. The Arduino has been programmed to provide rotation to each servo motor corresponding to the sliders in the designed mobile application for usage from a distance. The final design has been tested and the results show that this design completes its job accordingly.
A robotic arm is type of a mechanical arm which function is as similar to human arm. After detailed study,
it is easily programmable and to operate. It is fully automatic system
but one can operate it manually also. Conclusively, this
project helps to find solution for difficulties coming in
industrial automation. The robotic arm is used for material
handling, object sorting, welding, grinding, spray painting
purposes. A successful model of Pick and Place Robotic
Arm has designed using PLC
configuration robotic arm has been successfully completed.
It is concluded that this robotic arm is working properly
under the specified working envelope and at a given speed
with good accuracy. It is successfully able to carry defined
payload. This can be used for pick and place operation
required in assembly line which will be helpful to increase
productivity.
There might be places that are dangerous for humans or even impossible for humans to reach directly, then we must use robots to help us. In those challenging environments, robots need to collect information about their surroundings to avoid obstacles. Nowadays, even in normal environments, people need robots to detect and avoid obstacles. For example, an industrial robot in a factory is expected to avoid workers so as not to harm them. In conclusion, obstacle avoidance is widely researched and applied in the world and it is likely that most of the future robots should have an obstacle avoidance function
