automated 5 Dof robotic arm mechanism

Abstract

Robotic arms are widely used in industries, manufacturing lines and other industrial purposes. Robotic arms are used to implement complex industrial automation functionality which only humans can achieve. These functionalities include picking up a part and placing it horizontally into another machine or picking parts and placing it in packing boxes and more. So here we propose the design and fabrication of a fully automated robotic arm that can automate various industrial tasks. Our system consists of an assembly of mounts and parts designed to hold motors in place in order to achieve desired movement. Also it consists of a gripper designed with gear teeth in order to achieve gripping function as per motor rotation. The system consists of 5 motors needed to achieve the desired movement. A circuit board provided with it allows controlling the movement of the circuit according to the button pressed. This mechanism helps in understanding the working and control flow of industrial robotic arms design and fabrication processes.
