 ABSTRACT

The pick and place robot is one of the technology in manufacturing

industry and design to perform pick and place functions. The system is
very important to eliminate human errors and to get more precise work.
This project is a basic development and modification. Our project is to
design and optimize the six axis pick and place robot for the application
of arranging eggs in the tray in packing section. This improves the
economy by reducing human resource. The benefit of this project is
construction cost is very low.

 CHAPTER 1
INTRODUCTION

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. The pick and place robot is a microcontroller based
mechatronic system.
This system consists of robotic arm mechanisms, their motor and
servo actuators. The robot’s behaviors includes line following, pick the
object up, and deliver them to specific areas in its environment.
