MICROCONTROLLER BASED MATERIAL SHIFTING ROBOTIC ARM

Abstract

Nowadays, Advance Researches in Robotics develops machines that can replace humans in many conditions. Depending on application robots can be design with different features. Here we are presenting a robot which can be used in situation where humans find difficulties to work. This robot is helpful in chemical industries and research laboratories. In chemical industries there is a harmful acid and it is dangerous to handle by human. So it is safely handled by pick and place robot. It can be controlled with 3 axes. Catch- release, pickup-drop and all ground movements (forward/ backward/ left-turn/ right-turn). The arm of robot is controlled with radio remote. The radio remote having 8 controls switches, which provides these eight movements, four ground movements, two movements for pick up and down, and two for catch-release. These movements can be controlled by radio remote, which can be operating within 200meters range.
