Abstract:
In our project, we designed the robotic arm to work with an outside user or to perform
predetermined commands. The most developed field of robotic arms is the industry and
medicine sector. That’s why we designed our project to make it useful for the industry
and the medicine sectors. In our project, the robotic arm can grab round shape objects,
pick objects and can place it to the desired position. It also has a record mood. In
recording mood, it can perform the recorded moves or recorded angles again and again
until we manually stop it. While doing this, the robot control is using Arduino Nano
microcontroller.
Description:
In our project, we research about the mechanism and software operations of the robotic
arm. We designed the arm to pick and place round shape materials, and to perform the
commands previously determined by the user. First, we determined what will be the
functions of the robot arm and what movements it could make. The robotic arm can grab
round shape objects, pick objects and can place it to the desired position. That’s how the
programming is. It also has a record mood. In recording mood, it can perform the
recorded moves or recorded angles again and again until we manually stop it. This
project is also designated for doing manual tasks. The servomotor is preferred in order to
be able to perform these operations properly since the motor to be selected must operate
accurately and should be at high torque. We build the robotic arm with 3 servo motors so
the robotic arm can move in 3 axis direction. We use an Arduino Nano microcontroller
and write the program code in C language.
