Wireless Material Handling Pick and Place Robotic Arm Implementation Using Arduino

The design analysis of an Android Controlled “Pick and Place” Robotic vehicle has been presented in this paper. This work unravels the fact that man would always want to adhere to safety precautions at workplace and even in its environment, to be able to handle some specific tasks, like sending the robotic vehicle to hazardous environment to obtain samples for chemical analysis. It is a micro controller based control system which works in alliance with Android Application. It can be accessed by android application and the application can control the movement of vehicle as well as its robotic arms. This system comprises of a Bluetooth module which work as the receiver for vehicle. This sends commands to the micro controller which execute according to the signals received by Bluetooth. In this work, the design of a robot is presented which will move around in four directions and is equipped with gripper for pick and place operation. These operations will be controlled by a user friendly interface present on operator’s mobile phone. Depending upon the button clicked on the application, proper motional commands are given to robot by micro controller. This project is in aimed to design and develop a mobile robot which can move according to the button pressed on App. This prototype can be employed in chemical industry for handling of chemical materials of hazardous nature, or for movement of heavy objects in any industry KEYWORDS Pick and place robotic arm,Bluetooth control android app,soft catching gripper
