Metal Detection Using RF Controlled Robotic Vehicle

Abstract

Abstract: The use of robotics in various industries and manufacturing applications has been on the rise in recent years, as they can perform tasks with high precision and speed. One such application is pick and place operations, which involves the picking up and placing of objects in specific locations. However, in some cases, it is necessary to detect the presence of metal objects to ensure that the operation is carried out correctly and safely. In this context, the proposed system aims to combine pick and place operations with metal detection using RF-controlled robotic vehicles. The system consists of a remote-control unit, a metal detector module, and a robotic vehicle with a pick and place arm. The remote-control unit allows the operator to send commands wirelessly to the robotic vehicle, enabling it to move to a specific location and perform a pick and place operation. The metal detector module is integrated into the robotic vehicle and can select the presence of metal objects in its path. If a metal object is detected, the robotic vehicle stops and alerts the operator through the remote-control unit. Overall, this system offers an efficient and reliable solution for pick and place operations in environments where metal detection is necessary. The use of RF – controlled robotic vehicles allows for increased flexibility and ease of operation, while the integration of metal detection ensures that the system can operate safely and effectively.
