Abstract - This project is about designing a robotic arm with two degree of freedom which is controlled by using MATLAB. It is designed to be used in the movement either to the left or right, and also used to lift an object and place it at the desired location with the help of the arm. The locomotion and the control of the arm is achieved by using GUI (Graphical User Interface) in MATLAB. This project also uses Arduino microcontroller circuit as the basic circuit. Two DC Motors will be used as an application extension to make movements and lifting of an object. In this project, microcontroller is programmed instructions to control the Four Channel Relay circuitry which in turn will control the motors.
2. Robotic Arm
The simplest arm is the pick-and-place type. In this case the parts are moved from one location to another without caring how the part is picked up or down. However, these days robot arms are designed to manipulate objects having complicated shapes and fragile in nature. These may be used to assemble parts or fit them into clamps and fixture. This is possible due to high accuracy attainable in robot’s arm 3. Main Idea
The objective of this project to develop the Graphical User Interface of device control through MATLAB, interface the MATLAB GUI that consist of transmitter and receiver program with hardware via serial communication and obtain the required control. By using MATLAB GUIDE, the process of laying out and programming GUIs and interface with microcontroller via serial communication port to control the devices will be easier because it is already provided with a set of tools. As a result, the devices at remote location can be controlled by PC having MATLAB GUI and interface the MATLAB GUI with microcontroller via serial communication port
Our project deals with one of the efficient method to control a robot by using Graphical User Interface (GUI) in MATLAB. This technique is used for easy control of the robot to obtain the pick and place operation. It proposes a cost effective solution to the problem of controlling without other costlier receiving and transmitting equipment using ATmega microcontroller, MATLAB, Four channel relay circuit assembly to ensure robustness, repeatability and easy implementation, the principle idea has been kept very simple. Four channel relay circuit is used to control the operation of the robotic arm and the switching signals provided by the microcontroller through output analog pins to the relays, switching the relay.
1.INTRODUCTION
BLOCK DIAGRAM:
Robots are indispensable in many factoring industries. The reason is that the cost per hour to operate a robot is a fraction of the cost per hour to operate a robot is a fraction of the cost human labor needed to perform the same function. More than this, once programmed, robots repeatedly perform function with a high accuracy that surpasses that of the most experienced human operator. Human operators are, however, are more versatile. Humans canswitch job tasks easily. Robots are built and programmed to be job specific. Robots are in the infantry stage of their evolution. As robots evolve, they will become more versatile, emulating the human capacity and ability to switch job tasks easily. Robots require a combination of elements to be effective sophistication of intelligence, movement, mobility, navigation and purpose
