Project Summary

Robotic arms are typically used in the industry. Repetitive autonomous robots perform one task repeatedly based upon predetermined movements and specifically located objects. Start and stop commands are determined by position, acceleration, deceleration, distance, and direction. More complex actions are executed based upon sensor processing. If object orientation or position is unknown, arms are often paired with machine vision and artificial intelligence to identify the object and subsequently control the arm.

Project Objectives

The aim of the project is to design and fabricate a robotic arm that can be used by military personnel during combat.

The objectives of this project are to:
• select suitable material for the fabrication of a 5-DoF robotic arm;
• obtain suitable design parameters for the robotic arm;
• create a 3-D model of the robotic    arm based on the design parameters;
• simulate the movement of the robotic arm;
• fabricate the robotic arm
• create and deploy a suitable software to implement the inverse kinematics of the robotic arm, making it possible to position the robot end-effector by specifying desired coordinates.

Project Implementation Method

Counter-terrorism needs special training and requires accuracy with every move, this project will be used to control weapon recoil, carrying an additional weapon or satchel while on then move and also hold magazines for faster reload time.

Benefits of the Project

• Ability to operate in atmospheres that are not welcoming to human beings.
• Longer working period.
• Accuracy and Quality.
• Enhanced Efficiency and profitability.

Technical Details of Final Deliverable

A continuous rotation servo will be used to effect a 360° rotation at the base joint. The end-effector is a gripper used for picking the beams. Control of the servos from a PC will be achieved using the USB2Dynamixel™ - a TTL
(Transistor–transistor logic) level converter. The USB2Dynamixel is basically a “Virtual Serial Port” that attaches to the USB port on a PC. It will be used as the
the connector between the servos and the computer, thus allowing the servos to receive instructions from the PC.

A 9V, 4.5A power supply will be used to power the actuators with each actuator needing about 900mA current at 9V. The power supply circuit uses a pass transistor to deliver the high current needed. The interfacing software for communicating with the robotic arm is to be developed using Microsoft's C# programming language. Also, the inverse kinematics equation of the arm has to be derived and implemented so as to give it the ability to pick the beam at the specified location.
