Abstract - The use of industrial robots is increasing in areas

1.1 Robotic arm definition

such as food, consumer goods, wood, plastics and electronics, but is still mostly concentrated in the automotive industry. The aim of this project has been to develop a concept of a lightweight robot using lightweight materials such as aluminum and carbon fiber together with a newly developed stepper motor prototype. The wrist also needs to be constructed for cabling to run through on the inside. It is expensive to change cables and therefore the designing to reduce the friction on cable, is crucial to increase time between maintenance. A concept generation was performed based on the function analysis, the the specifications of requirements that had been established. From the concept generation, twenty-four sustainable concepts divided into four groups (representing an individual part of the whole concept) were evaluated.

A robotic arm is a robot manipulator, usually programmable, with similar functions to a human arm. The links of such a manipulator are connected by joints allowing either rotational motion (such as in an articulated robot) or translational (linear) displacement. The links of the manipulator can be considered to form a kinematic chain. The business end of the kinematic chain of the manipulator is called the end effectors and it is analogous to the human hand. The end effectors can be designed to perform any desired task such as welding, gripping, spinning etc., depending on the application. The robot arms can be autonomous or controlled manually and can be used to perform a variety of tasks with great accuracy. The robotic arm can be fixed or mobile (i.e. wheeled) and can be designed for industrial or home applications.

This report deals with a robotic arm whose objective is to imitate the movements of a human arm using accelerometers as sensors for the data acquisition of the natural arm movements. This method of control allows greater flexibility in controlling the robotic arm rather than using a controller where each actuator is controlled separately. The processing unit takes care of each actuator’s control signal according to the inputs from accelerometer, in order to replicate the movements of the human arm. Figure 1 shows the block diagram representation of the system to be designed and implemented.

1. INTRODUCTION Nowadays, robots are increasingly being integrated into working tasks to replace humans specially to perform the repetitive task. In general, robotics can be divided into two areas, industrial and service robotics. International Federation of Robotics (IFR) defines a service robot as a robot which operates semi- or fully autonomously to perform services useful to the well-being of humans and equipment, excluding manufacturing operations. These robots are currently used in many fields of applications including office, military tasks, hospital operations, dangerous environment and agriculture. Besides, it might be difficult or dangerous for humans to do some specific tasks like picking up explosive chemicals, defusing bombs or in worst case scenario to pick and place the bomb somewhere for containment and for repeated pick and place action in industries. Therefore, a robot can be replaced human to do work.

2. LITETURE SURVEYS 1. Design Analysis of a Remote Controlled “Pick and Place” Robotic Vehicleby B.O. Omijeh In this paper The design of a Remote Controlled Robotic Vehicle has been completed. A prototype was built and confirmed functional. This system would make it easier for man to unrivalled the risk of handling suspicious objects which could be hazardous in its present environment and workplace. Complex and complicated duties would be achieved faster and more accurately with this design.[01]
