Design and Kinematic Analysis of Automatic Articulated Robot

Abstract

Automation in the machine tools has reduced the human’s intervention in the machining generation and improved the process efficiency, and product quality, it can be achieved via robots. Therefore, it is very important to study the principle of robots and to learn how to apply them in the automation of a manufacturing system. In this project focus on an automatic robot which an operation of pocking and placing, educational purpose, industrial automation of light assembly. By employment of reprogrammable microcontrollers, it is now easy to add new functions and capabilities to a robot. This robotic arm is controlled by an android. This robotic arm motion is restricted or constrained by using 6 controlled motors. It is a 5-axis robotic arm having 5 DOF like revolute coordinate robot. The robotic arm and android are interconnected wirelessly by using a Bluetooth module. These are programmed through microcontrollers. It is mainly designed for the function of pick and place of objects as guided in the program. This robot gives scope to study, design and fabrication of a robotic arm according to the operations to be performed.
