Abstract:
Introduction:
In this highly developing society; time and man power are critical constrains for completion of task in large scales and it is hazardous for humans to work. The automation is playing important role to save human efforts in most of the regular and frequently carried works e.g. most of the industrial jobs like welding, painting, assembly, container filling etc. one of the major and most commonly performed work is picking and placing of jobs from source to destination. For this purpose, ‘pick and place robot ‘maybe used.
Aim:
The main objective of this proposed project is to Build a wireless sensing robot which can pick different objects, based on the material and follow instruction remotely.
Objective:
The pick and place robot is a microcontroller based mechatronic system that detects the object, picks that object from source location and places at desired location using robotic arm which is controlled by Microcontroller.
The project is about the basic robotic sensing and locomotion principles, testing the motor skills, as you build and control the arm. Three motors are used for picking up (pickup point) & placing (drop point) the object.Infrared sensors are used to detect if an object has arrived at the pickup point, then the robotic arm will move & pick up the object & places at drop point. Another IR sensor is used to check if any object is there at the drop point if so an alarm is made to ring until the object at drop point is removed. The circuit consists of 8951/8952 microcontroller which reads sensor input & controls the 3 motors with their corresponding drivers. Two IR transmitters & receivers for detecting the objects at pickup & drop point.
