Design and Analysis of Electronic Controller Based Robot Arm

Abstract

Modern industrial robots are designed according to the principal design rules to construct light and stiff. When the controllers are used in industrial robots, the problem arises due to the repetitive motion and technical aspects of the controller. In this work, we proposed an alternative electronics controller design for the robotic arm in order to withstand various load conditions. The PIC controller is used to control the robot motion and to reduce time delay of motion and to analyze the performance of the prototype on various load conditions. In this paper, a robotic arm that serves as a tool to lift an object from one place to another where it can be widely used in factory is developed. The main focus of this work is to design, develop and to implement robot arm with enhanced control with stumpy cost. The proposed system is actuated by 3 DC motors and the motion of the robot arm is controlled by PIC micro controller. The robot arm is designed with two degree of freedom and talented to accomplish accurately simple tasks, such as light material handling, which will be integrated into a mobile platform that serves as an assistant for industrial work force. The designed arm lifts up to 2 kg object.
