Abstract

The main focus of this work was to design, develop and implementation of competitively robot arm with en- hanced control and stumpy cost. The robot arm was designed with four degrees 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 workforce. The robot arm is equipped with several servo motors which do links between arms and perform arm movements. The servo motors include encoder so that no controller was implemented. To control the robot we used Labview, which performs inverse kinematic calculations and communicates the proper angles serially to a microcontroller that drives the servo motors with the capability of modifying position, speed and acceleration. Testing and validation of the robot arm was carried out and results shows that it work properly.

Highlights

  • The term robotics is practically defined as the study, design and use of robot systems for manufacturing [1]

  • The robot arm was designed with four degrees 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 workforce

  • The present work is part of a two-phase project, which requires a mobile robot to be able to transport the tools from the storage room to the industrial cell. In this phase in the project, which carried out at Monterrey University of Technology, Mexico, the main focus was to design, development and implementation of an industrial robotic arm with stumpy cost, accurate and superior control. This robot arm was designed with four degrees of freedom and talented to accomplish simple tasks, such as light material handling, which will be integrated into a mobile platform that serves as an assistant for industrial workforce
