Abstract

A robotic arm is an artificial arm to achieve desired tasks. Now a day, there is a more and more purpose to develop artificial arms for various non-human situations where human communication is impossible. Human’s pickups stuff without considering the steps involved, and using wired and wireless, robotic arm is controlled manually. This paper focuses on design, and to control the robotic arm’s angle by using Cortex ARM M3 LPC1768 Microcontroller including ultrasonic sensor and a digital controller using computer system. The robotic arm can move freely having 5 Degrees of Freedom (DoF) with a Servo motor situated at each joint. The function of Servo motor is position-controlling using a microcontroller. With the help of this Servo motor, Robotic Arm can position the link that required at the particular angle. By using rotary-encoder the feedback of the angle can be measured. The purpose of this paper is to introduce the level of intelligence that can be implemented to industries in order to reduce the human errors as well as enhance the quality and rapid production in manufacturing and processing. The major advantage of the Robotic Arm is that it can work in hazardous circumstances such as high temperature, pressure which is not suitable for the humans. The Robotic Arms can be update and modify easily. Robotic Arm reduces the overall cost and risk associated with the injuries of workers. The operation of designed robotic arm has been experimentally verified. Simulation results are presented and discussed.
