ARDUINO CONTROLLED ROBOTIC ARM
Project Area of Specialization Mechanical EngineeringProject SummaryThe Robotic arms are now used in a wide variety of applications, from industrial
automation to automatic burger making arms. The key component of any automatic
robotic arm is its ability to learn motions or the ability of arms to be programmable by
the user. This usually involves programming the arm each time with set of instructions
Project ObjectivesFeatures Description

Type
The system provides a smart mechanism to use a 360° programmable robotic
arm with smartphone controlled system.
Project Implementation MethodApplications:
? Production Lines Automation.
? Automated Cooking Robots.
? Fruit/Vegetable Sorting Robots.
? Wall Painting Robots.
? Medical/Surgical Operation Robotics.
Benefits of the Project? 6 DOF arm for 360° Movements.
? Programmable Arm as per user automation process.
? Smartphone controlled system with no added programming hardware needed.
? Easy to control movements with sliders instead of complicated programming.
Technical Details of Final DeliverableThe 6 Dof arm makes use of 6 servo motors controlled by an Arduino Uno controller.
The controller is interfaced with a Bluetooth receiver that is used to receive commands
via the android app. The arm gripper is made up of 2 claws which are also controlled by
a servo motor. The gripper angle is also be rotated by another servo for a 180°
orientation to pick up and place objects of any orientation.
The android app consists of an easy to use GUI with sliders used to transmit servo
movement commands. The user can record steps and save each step through the app.
The programming commands transmitted by app are received by the Bluetooth receiver
and passed over to Arduino controller. The controller records movement commands of
each servo step and saves it. The controller can now repeat the set of steps so as to
execute the entire movement command with desired coordination with each servo to
achieve the program repetitively.
Thus the system provides a smart mechanism to use a 360° programmable robotic arm
with smartphone controlled system.
