Keywords:
Arduino UNO, Object detection and placement, Pick and place robot, Servo motor control, Ultrasonic sensor integrationAbstract
This project presents the design and implementation of a low-cost, programmable robotic arm controlled using an Arduino microcontroller. The primary objective is to develop a prototype capable of performing basic pick-and-place operations using servo motors and simple electronic components. The robotic arm is constructed using lightweight materials and incorporates multiple degrees of freedom to simulate the motion of a human arm. Arduino Uno serves as the central control unit, programmed to manage the movement of the servos based on predefined inputs or real-time commands via serial communication.
The project demonstrates the practical application of embedded systems, mechanical design, and automation principles. It aims to provide a foundational understanding of robotics for students and enthusiasts while offering potential for further development such as integration with sensors, computer vision, or wireless control. This prototype can serve as a cost.
