Abstract
In small-scale industries, under extreme working conditions, personnel are frequently involved in lifting and carrying raw materials, which is hazardous at times. Robot, a machine with intelligence can perform the same task with the help of control instructions fed by computer or remote control. Technological development in the area of robotics made it possible to design robotic arm with the same degree of precision as a replacement to the human intervention. This will introduce automation in small-scale industries, which saves time, reduces human effort and expenditure in production. Further, this will be a starting point for complete automation of entire process, which can be expensive and complicated. NI LabVIEW along with NI-myRIO can provide a better solution in designing a more precise and accurate robot in a very low cost, which is affordable by small-scale industries. NI-myRIO is used to generate and acquire signals for controlling and processing. Further it has an inbuilt processor and FPGA which has many reconfigurable analogue and digital features.
Highlights
Using robotics in industrial automation and introducing flexible manufacturing system has generated a great demand present days
Robot is more than a machine, introducing robotic technology in small scale-industries has become a solution for problems faced by small-scale industries by reducing the financial burden bourn by the industries and completing the production/manufacturing process on time to meet the customer demand
Robotic automation [6,11] is suggested in order to replace routine, repetitive, dangerous, time taking tasks performed by human and to eliminate human involvement in hazardous working areas
Summary
Using robotics in industrial automation and introducing flexible manufacturing system has generated a great demand present days. The capabilities of grasper like Self-adjustability and Self-Stability makes it to perform its tasks accurately avoiding possible mistakes [3] These advantages enable the functionality of the grasper to be fully computerised / automated. This system is proposed to replace the requirement of human involvement in performing certain tasks. In this robot, the motion is defined based on the data acquired from the sensors. The proposed robotic arm will execute the work at tough working environments and can handle repetitive and tedious works which inturn increases the quality of work resulting in less production cost for the industry. Some future suggestions such as a functional addition and hardware improvement the project are mentioned
