scholarly journals Design and Development of Z-Robot for industrial Applications

The last few decades have demonstrated the benefit of fast, vast and inexpensive robots in production sectors. Robots in the industry can be cooperative or supportive to the workers. Some significant tasks such as, industrial automation, painting, welding, package loading and unloading, cutting and application specific tasks can be performed using industrial robotic arm. The aim of the project is to pick and place the objects in industries using robot arms. Z-Robot is a double arm robot. The robot arms follow the loop in a program to run the servo motors. Arduino program stores the position of each motor. When the pick command is received servo motors fixed with the robot arms start rotating based on the program and picks up the object. When the drop command is received the robot arms drops down the object. The pick and place operations can be done in any direction. End effectors connected with arm setup is used to pick and place the object.

Abstract The objective of this paper is to design and model a translational robotic arm that is simple and cheap to manufacture while maintaining good functionality. Once the robotic arm is designed, the control analysis and computer simulation are conducted. When selecting the material used for the parts, the density and strength of are considered. This paper covers the design process, analysis and computer simulation of a robotic arm. The final design is a 4-DOF (degrees of freedom) pick and place robot. This robot has 1 prismatic joint and 3 revolute joints. The arm is designed to be used in multiple applications such as pick and place, car wash, chalkboard erasers, etc. Forward kinematics is used to calculate the end effectors position and orientation based on the positions of each joint. The Lagrange general method is used to come up with the equation of motion. Also, the control method selected for this robot was nonlinear decoupling PD control.

In recent years, vision system in robotics have a major impact on research field and industry. Many industrial applications have a huge requirement of sorting out the things as per different color or label. This paper deals with an automated material handling system, which synchronizes the movement of robotic arm to pick a single object from the maximum numbers. This paper aims to sort out different kind of objects by their color occupied pin code and place them to its respective pre-programmed place.

A robust model is essential for the design of system components such as controllers, observers state estimators, and simulators. State estimators are becoming increasingly important in modern systems, especially systems with states that may not be measured with sensors. Therefore, it is imperative to analyze the performance of different modelling and state estimator design techniques. In this research work, a parametric model of a pick and place robotic arm was obtained using system identification technique. Pick and place robotic arms have a lot of industrial applications. The parameters of the obtained model were determined using the general second-order characteristics equation and manual tuning. Furthermore, five state estimators were designed based on the developed model. The accuracy of the model, and the performance of the observers were analyzed. The model was found to provide a good representation of the system. Nonetheless, with very small divergence between the model and the real system. The performance of the observers was found to be dependent on their pole locations; the higher the magnitude of the poles, the higher the state estimators’ gain and the better the estimation provided. It was found out that the state estimators with high gains were more susceptible to measurement noise. Keywords— Modelling, pick and place robots, observers, and state estimators.

Manipulators are used for various purposes in order to simplify tasks or reduce the risk of tasks that are considered impossible, dangerous or difficult for humans. The robotic arm can be equipped with various types of end effectors to perform a variety of tasks. Grips are one of the most commonly used tools for manipulators. This article discusses the analysis of modeling new robotic gripping fingers, based on models of gripping gross rigid bodies of manipulators. A literature review was conducted in the relevant branches of scientific research. The ability to minimize dimensions and masses, as well as the final cost of the product, using available materials and electromechanical devices, various sensors, is evaluated. The external characteristics that make the previously developed analogues ineffective are analyzed. Modeling was released using the SolidWorks software package.

Flexible robot arms have been developed for various medical and industrial applications because of their compliant structures enabling safe environmental interactions. This paper introduces a novel flexible robot arm comprising a number of elastically deformable planar spring elements arranged in series. The effects of flexure design variations on their layer compliance properties are investigated. Numerical studies of the different layer configurations are presented and finite Element Analysis (FEA) simulation is conducted. Based on the suspended platform’s motion of each planar spring, this paper then provides a new method for kinematic modeling of the proposed robot arm. The approach is based on the concept of simultaneous rotation and the use of Rodrigues’ rotation formula and is applicable to a wide class of continuum-style robot arms. At last, the flexible robot arms respectively integrated with two different types of compliance layers are prototyped. Preliminary test results are reported.

<p>In today’s world, in almost all sectors, most of the work is done by robots or robotic arm having different number of degree of freedoms (DOF’s) as per the requirement. This project deals with the Design and Implementation of a “Wireless Gesture Controlled Robotic Arm with Vision”. The system design is divided into 3 parts namely: Accelerometer Part, Robotic Arm and Platform. It is fundamentally an Accelerometer based framework which controls a Robotic Arm remotely utilizing a, little and minimal effort, 3-pivot (DOF's) accelerometer by means of RF signals. The Robotic Arm is mounted over a versatile stage which is likewise controlled remotely by another accelerometer. One accelerometer is mounted/joined on the human hand, catching its conduct (motions and stances) and hence the mechanical arm moves in like manner and the other accelerometer is mounted on any of the leg of the client/administrator, catching its motions and stances and in this way the stage moves as needs be. In a nutshell, the robotic arm and platform is synchronised with the gestures and postures of the hand and leg of the user / operator, respectively. The different motions performed by robotic arm are: PICK and PLACE / DROP, RAISING and LOWERING the objects. Also, the motions performed by the platform are: FORWARD, BACKWARD, RIGHT and LEFT.</p>
