Open-Source Control System Platform for a 5-Axis Robot Using PID and IoT

Technological progress has brought about a revolution in several sectors by integrating automation, especially robots, to improve production efficiency. The 5-axis articulated robot is a popular option in the industry because to its exceptional flexibility and accuracy in managing intricate manufacturing processes, setting it apart from other robot kinds. However, creating control systems for these robots often requires costly hardware and software, which presents difficulties for academic institutions and small-scale researchers. Accessible and reasonably priced parts, such microcontrollers, are used to solve this problem. This work provides an open-source control system platform that combines Internet of Things (IoT) technologies with PID (Proportional-Integral-Derivative) control for a 5-axis articulated robot. The platform provides an adaptable, effective, and reasonably priced control solution by using the capabilities of Arduino microcontrollers. A detailed description is given of the system's architecture and implementation, which includes the hardware setup, software architecture, and the integration of PID control and IoT. This interface reduces setup time and enables remote access over the Internet of Things, according to testing. This open-source technology promotes wider acceptance and flexibility in educational and industrial robotics, possibly enhancing the practical training of robotics students.
