 INTRODUCTION
Robotic Arm

• A robotic arm is a type of mechanical arm,

usually programmable, with similar functions to a
human arm. The links of such a manipulator are connected
by joints allowing either rotational motion or translational
displacement. The links of the manipulator can be
considered to form a kinematic chain. The terminus of the
kinematic chain of the manipulator is called the end
effectors and it is analogous to the human hand.
 CONCEPT
• The robotic arm is an electro-mechanical device
deigned to simulate the complex movements of human
arm by employing various mechanical and electronic
arrangements such as actuators and end effectors.

• The robotic arm is built upon a reprogrammable

environment, making it easier to reassign kinematic
characteristics of the arm along the 3-dimensional
space.

• The robotic arm has evolved to substitute human labor,

thereby increasing productivity and quality.

 CONTROLLING PROGRAM-IDE
• The Arduino integrated development environment is a cross-
platform application that is written in the programming
language Java. It is used to write and upload programs to Arduino
board.

• ]The Arduino IDE supplies a software library from the Wiring

project, which provides many common input and output
procedures. User-written code only requires two basic functions,
for starting the sketch and the main program loop, that are
compiled and linked with a program stub main() into an
executable cyclic executive program with the GNU toolchain, also
included with the IDE distribution.

• The Arduino IDE employs the program avrdude to convert the

executable code into a text file in hexadecimal encoding that is
loaded into the Arduino board by a loader program in the board's
firmware.

 SCOPE OF ROBOTIC ARM IN
INDUSTRIAL AUTOMATION
• The robotic arms will be of great use to perform
repetitive tasks of picking and placing of small parts in
an industrial production line.

• Its use can be extended and exploited by few

modifications to do difficult and hazardous tasks for
industrial applications.

• It can be used to do small assembly work effectively

due to its great added accuracy for placement of parts,
which further extends the scope of our project.
