Abstract

Mankind has always strived to give life like qualities to its artifacts in an attempt to find

substitutes for himself to carry out his orders and also to work in a hostile environment. The

popular concept of a mechanical arm is of a machine that looks and works like a human arm.

The industry is moving from current state of automation to Robotization, to increase

productivity and to deliver uniform quality. The industrial robots of today may not look the

least bit like a human being although all the research is directed to provide more and more

anthropomorphic and human like features and super-human capabilities in these. 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. A typical Robotic

Vehicle is capable of traveling over various terrains and traversing obstacles.

One type of robot commonly used in industry is a robotic manipulator or simply a mechanical

arm. It is an open or closed kinematic chain of rigid links interconnected by movable joints. In

some configurations, links can be considered to correspond to human anatomy as waist, upper

arm and forearm with joint at shoulder and elbow. At end of arm a wrist joint connects an end

effector which may be a tool and its fixture or a gripper or any other device to work.

Introduction

Mechanical is the branch of engineering science & Technology related to machinery,

and their design, manufacture, application, and structural disposition. Robotics is related to

electronics, mechanics, and software. Robotics research today is focused on developing

systems that exhibit modularity, flexibility, redundancy, fault-tolerance, a general and

extensible software environment and seamless connectivity to other machines, some

researchers focus on completely automating a manufacturing process or a task, by providing

sensor based intelligence to the mechanical arm, while others try to solidify the analytical

foundations on which many of the basic concepts in robotics are built.

In this highly developing society time and man power are critical constrains for

completion of task in large scales. The automation is playing important role to save human

efforts in most of the regular and frequently carried works. One of the major and most

commonly performed works is picking and placing of jobs from source to destination.

Present day industry is increasingly turning towards computer-based automation

mainly due to the need for increased productivity and delivery of end products with uniform

quality. The inflexibility and generally high cost of hard-automation systems, which have

been used for automated manufacturing tasks in the past, have led to a broad based interest in

the use of mechanical arm capable of performing a variety of manufacturing functions in a

flexible environment and at lower costs. The use of Industrial mechanical arm characterizes

some of contemporary trends in automation of the manufacturing process. However, present

day industrial mechanical arm also exhibit a monolithic mechanical structure and closed-

system software architecture. They are concentrated on simple repetitive tasks, which tend not

to require high precision.

The pick and place mechanical arm is a human controlled based system that detects the

object, picks that object from source location and places at desired location. For detection of

object, human detect presence of object and move machine accordingly.

Literature review

Robots have their historical past though they came into existences only in 1961 when

Unimation Inc., USA introduced the first servo- controlled industrial robots. Early

development dating back to 500B.C shows that the Egyptians, Indians, the Chinese, and the

Romans built many automatics puppets which imitate the movement of animals and birds.

The Chinese built many amusing devices that depicted sequential motions. Also, the early

men discovered many mechanisms and exhibited their innovation skill in building ships and

introduced looms to weave. This ushered in the industrial revolution. In the 1940s, remote

teleported master-slave manipulators were developed. Later, force feedback and kinesthetic

sensory elements were added to them to facilitate better control. Tele-operated devices were

used in mars exploration in 1976. In 1948, the transition was invented at Bell laboratories

U.S.A. In 1952, IBM‟s first commercial computer IBM 701 was introduced. Then came

numerically controlled tools in which various slides of machines were displaced by numerical

commands through suitable hardware. The development of NC (numerically controlled)

machine tools has, therefore, been a turning point in the development of robotics.

The planet corporation in 1959 introduced a pick and place robot. In 1961, the first industrial

robot was commercialized by Unimation Inc. Microprocessor technology was brought by

INTEL in 1961. The real robot development process continued between 1968 and 1982 when

various models of robots were developed by leading robot scientists in different universities,

national laboratories and different industrial houses in the USA, Japan, France, UK, and other

European countries.

Some of the robot models of historical interest are the Versatran by AMF, developed in

(1963) and Cincinnati Milacron introduced in (1974), Irb-6 by ASLA in (1978). The

Kawasaki and Hitachi groups in Japan have also contributed a lot in developing various

sensors to make robots „think‟ intelligently.

Various robot institutions propagate the ideas and ideologies of robotics to the

profession. Some of the pioneering institutions are the Japan industrial Robot Association

(JIRA, 1971), Robot Institute of America (RIA, 1975), British Robot Association (BRA,

1977) and Robotics Interaction / SME, to mention a few.

Law Of Robotics:

1. A mechanical arm should not injure a human being or, through inaction, allow a

human to be harmed.

2. A mechanical arm must obey orders given by humans except when that conflicts with

the First Law.

3. A mechanical arm must protect its own existence unless that conflicts with the First or

Second law.

These are very general laws and apply even to other machines and appliances. They are

always taken care of in any mechanical arm design.

Components Of Mechanical Arm

1. Structure

The structure of a mechanical arm is usually mostly mechanical and can be called a

kinematic chain. The chain is formed of links, actuators, and joints which can allow

one or more degrees of freedom. Most contemporary mechanical arm use open serial

chains in which each link connects the one before to the one after it. These mechanical

arms are often resemble the human arm. Mechanical arm used as manipulators have an

end effector mounted on the last link. This end effector can be anything from a

welding device to a mechanical hand used to manipulate the environment.

2. Power Source

At present mostly (lead-acid) batteries are used, but potential power sources could be:

Pneumatic (compressed gases)

Hydraulics (compressed liquids)

Flywheel energy storage

Organic garbage (through anaerobic digestion)

Still untested energy sources (e.g. Nuclear Fusion reactors)

http://www.sprinkler-irrigation.co.uk/media/catalog/product/a/a/aa.jpg

3. Actuation

Actuators are like the "muscles" of a mechanical arm, the parts which convert stored energy

into movement. By far the most popular actuators are electric motors that spin a wheel or

gear, and linear actuators that control industrial mechanical arm in factors. But there are some

recent advances in alternative types of actuators, powered by electricity, chemicals, or

compressed air.

4. Touch

Current mechanical arm receive far less tactile information than the human hand. Recent

research has developed a tactile sensor array that mimics the mechanical properties and touch

receptors of human fingertips. The sensor array is constructed as a rigid core surrounded by

conductive fluid contained by an elastomeric skin. Electrodes are mounted on the surface of

the rigid core and are connected to an impedance-measuring device within the core. When the

artificial skin touches an object the fluid path around the electrodes is deformed, producing

impedance changes that map the forces received from the object.

5. Vision

Computer vision is the science and technology of machines that see. As a scientific discipline,

computer vision is concerned with the theory behind artificial systems that extract information

from images. The image data can take many forms, such as video sequences and views from

cameras.

In most practical computer vision applications, the computers are pre-programmed to solve a

particular task, but methods based on learning are now becoming increasingly common.

Computer vision systems rely on image sensors which detect electromagnetic radiation which

is typically in the form of either visible light or infra-red light. The sensors are designed using

solid-state physics. The process by which light propagates and reflects off surfaces is

explained using optics. Sophisticated image sensors even require quantum mechanics to

provide a complete understanding of the image formation process.

6. Manipulation

Mechanical arm which must work in the real world require some way to manipulate objects;

pick up, modify, destroy, or otherwise have an effect. Thus the 'hands' of a mechanical arm

are often referred to as end effectors, while the arm is referred to as a manipulator. Most

mechanical arm arms have replaceable effectors, each allowing them to perform some small

range of tasks. Some have a fixed manipulator which cannot be replaced, while a few have

one very general purpose manipulator, for example a humanoid hand.

Types

1. Mechanical gripper:

One of the most common effectors is the gripper. In its simplest manifestation it consists of

just two fingers which can open and close to pick up and let go of a range of small objects.

Fingers can for example be made of a chain with a metal wire run through it.

http://www.dhresource.com/albu_935772856_00/1.0x0.jpg

2. Vacuum Grippers:

Pick and place robots for electronic components and for large objects like car

windscreens, will often use very simple vacuum grippers. These are very

simple astrictive devices, but can hold very large loads provided the pretension

surface is smooth enough to ensure suction.

Types Of Mechanical Arm As Per Applications

Nowadays, mechanical arm do a lot of different tasks in many fields. And this number of jobs

entrusted to mechanical arm is growing steadily. That's why one of the best ways how to

divide mechanical arm into types is a division by their application.

Below given are some of the types of mechanical arm:

Industrial Mechanical Arm: Mechanical arm today are being utilized in a wide variety of

industrial applications. Any job that involves repetitiveness, accuracy, endurance, speed, and

reliability can be done much better by robots, which is why many industrial jobs that used to

be done by humans are increasingly being done by mechanical arm.

http://cfnewsads.thomasnet.com/images/medium/451/451672.jpg

Mobile Mechanical Arm: Also known as Automated Guided Vehicles, or AGVs, these are

used for transporting material over large sized places like hospitals, container ports, and

warehouses, using wires or markers placed in the floor, or lasers, or vision, to sense the

environment they operate in. An advanced form of the AGV is the SGV, or the Self-Guided

Vehicle, like Patrol Bot Gofer, Tug, and Speci-Minder, which can be taught to autonomously

navigate within a space.

Agriculture Mechanical Arm:

Although the idea of Mechanical Arm planting seeds, ploughing fields, and gathering the

harvest may seem straight out of a futuristic science fiction book, nevertheless there are

several Mechanical Arm in the experimental stages of being used for agricultural purposes,

such as mechanical arm that can pickapples.

Telemechanical Arm:

These mechanical arms are used in places that are hazardous to humans, or are inaccessible or

far away. A human operator located at a distance from a telemechanical arm controls its

action, which was accomplished with the arm of the space shuttle. Telemechanical arm are

also useful in nuclear power plants where they, instead of humans, can handle hazardous

material or undertake operations potentially harmful for humans.

Service Mechanical Arm:

The Japanese are in the forefront in these types of mechanical arm. Essentially, this category

comprises of any mechanical arm that is used outside an industrial facility, although they can

be sub-divided into two main types of mechanical arm: one, mechanical arm used for

professional jobs, and the second, mechanical arm used for personal use. Amongst the former

type are the above mentioned mechanical arm used for military use, and then there are

mechanical arm that are used for underwater jobs, or mechanical arm used for cleaning

hazardous waste, and the like.

Problem Definition

In manufacturing industries, the pick and place robot was invented to be used as hardware to

solving and accomplishing most of task that cannot be done by human being and also to be

faster and pinch the production time.

This picks and place robot is being designed to ease the transfer process of materials.

If a specific task is to be performed for a long period of time, it can create stress upon the

operator and may cause injury in the process. This robot helps to ease the process with

precision.

Determination of Microcontroller

Before starting to commend the project problem statements need to be analyzed and why the

project is conducted. Problems that need to be identified would not only be the one which

might occur during conducting the project but also with the system that is to be designed. That

includes the type of the microcontroller that is to be used. There are many types of

microcontroller that can be chosen example 808 family, 8048 family from Intel, AT89 series

from ATMEL. Therefore a suitable one is needed to be selected with the application of pick

and place arm. In this process every detail of the component to be used is identified and the

budget to achieve the objective of the project that is to design a cheaper robotic arm.

Familiarize with the programming language

After choosing the suitable microcontroller the next step is to choose a suitable language in

order to program the microcontroller and use it. There are several types of languages offered

for programming but the most well-known are BASIC, C, Pascal. Thus research need to be

done in order to know which programming language can provide the better solution with the

programming by knowing each languages pros and cons.

Design and construction and assembly

There are many ways to design a robotic arm but there are several questions needed to be

pointed out before designing it such as what is the object to be lifted , how heavy is the object

how far can the arm stretch , how many DOF is the arm and material used to build the robotic

arm.After these measurements have been taken the arm can be constructed and assembled

together with the microcontroller chosen.

Construct a suitable program for the robotic arm application and write it into the microcontroller used.

Based on the design robotic arm, a suitable program is being constructed using the

programming language chosen to be written in microcontroller used. This program is built to

suit with application of pick and place robotic arm.

During the stage, simulation is also being conducted through simulation software

to verify the program is written working perfectly in order to protect components and

microcontroller from being damage in case of error.

Future Scope

Pick and place interfaced or controlled by smart phones with android or ios platform.

With advancement in technology the robot can controlled with the portable day-to-day

devices like smart phones with ios or android platform.

Smarter versions of pick and place robots can be used to deliver medications in

hospitals or mails within office buildings.

The smarter versions of robots can be used to deliver the medicines from store to ICU which

may reduce the time of delivery or to deliver the mails within office premises

Heavy duty pick and place robots can be used in place of cranes.

Robots can used as an alternative to cranes without any human intervention. It can also

reduce the chances of accidents on construction sites.

Can be used to deliver tools and jobs within industries with user interface control

In large industries it can be used to deliver the tools or product from one part of the industries

to other part with more effective material handling capacity of the robot.

Can be used to handle hazardous materials or chemicals

Robots can handle hazardous material or chemicals where high risk factor is involved to get

people out of dangerous situations. The robots can be situated in work cells that are remote or

closed from human access when handling radioactive or hazardous materials
