Project Summary

In today’s world there is an increasing need to create artificial arms that can helps to pick and place the medicines for different types of special people like for those patients who are disabled, dumb.

In this project we are designing IoT based wheeled robotic arm, because it is easy to use in smooth and hard surface, and it is very energy efficient. The design in this work includes 6 degrees of freedom robotic arm that can move freely in forward/backward, left/right, up/down combine with 3 rotational angles termed as pitch, yaw and roll. The basic purpose of the robotic arm is to pick and place an object from one place to another. The directions of the robotic arm can be monitored and controlled using internet facilities. The microcontroller board is utilized in this project for controlling the robotic arm and the mobile App that will be used is Blynk. The project needs a web camera so that the robotic arm can be controlled from anywhere through IOT. The robotic arm can be used for multiple applications e.g. patient monitoring system, monitor plant activities in industry, agriculture and domestic purposes.

Project Objectives

1. To select the suitable robotic arm and its components like servo motors, Wi-Fi module, microcontroller board & selection of the base.
2. To assemble the robotic arm and its base.
3. To interface the components with microcontroller board.
4. To control the robotic arm using Blynk mobile App.

Project Implementation Method

The project has two parts; the hardware and software part. The hardware part will be implemented with sensors, servo motors, Wi-Fi module and the controller. The controller will collect the data using Wi-Fi module. The robotic arm comprises of six servo motor for base, shoulder, elbow, wrist, gripper the servo motor have 3 colored pins red for VCC brown for ground and orange for  PWM signal  and each of the servo motor’s output can be individually controlled. We will control movements of robotic arm by giving specific commands to microcontroller through internet via Wi-Fi module.

The software that will be used is microcontroller (arduino).The user interface which is used to control the robotic arm is made on an app, the app must require a login ID and a password for security reasons, so that a particular person can control the robotic arm. The control is given via the internet to the Wi-Fi module. This acts as the receiver and gives the received signal to the microcontroller. The signal which is given to the robotic arm is actually sent through the internet and hence we can access the robot from any place.

Benefits of the Project

Now a day’s robotics makes everything possible in such a way that most of the work can be done automatically. The IOT is another field which is also widely used now a day’s it collects the whole data from sensors and then send it to internet.

• The mobile robotic arm can move in all directions to pick and place the small objects like the medicines, ball, small bottles etc.
• It can be controlled from anywhere using IOT like for patient monitoring if a doctor is not available then he/she can access it using App.
• The app has great benefit in that it can save and record the movements of arm so that we can use it repeatedly.
• The app must require a login ID and a password for security reasons, for a particular person to control the robotic arm.

Technical Details of Final Deliverable

The final product will be hardware system that is IOT based six degrees of freedom mobile robotic arm that can pick and place things from one place to another, created by servo motors and dc stepper motors for wheels. The microcontroller is connected to the servo motors, batteries, Wi-Fi module and the android app that gets the signal from internet so that the movements of arm can be easily controlled. The movements of the arm can be recorded and saved so that it can be used repeatedly if needed.
