Abstract: The primary goal of this research and development project is to develop an automatic pick and place robot
for material handling systems. This automatic pick and place robot integrates object detection with the pick and place
process whereby the detection of an object would power the object gripper; kick starting the pick and place process.
With the objective of creating a user friendly and affordable system, the developed model high significantly
demonstrates the use of technology in material handling systems. There are many different types of pick and place
systems. Examples include portable material handling systems, industrial manipulators .This pick and place robotic arm
with wheel scan be easily moved from one place to another. A pick and place robot manipulator can be used to pick an
object and place them in an orderly manner to get a final destination. A pick and place requires little operator and
provides maximum output with efficiency. It is widely used in different industry to pick a different material and place
in desire location.

I.INTRODUCTION

International Organization for Standardization (ISO) in ISO 8373 defines robot as an automatically controlled,
reprogrammable, multipurpose, manipulator programmable in three or more axes, which may either be fixed in place or
mobile for use in industrial automation applications. Derived from the Czechoslovakian term robota or robotnik
referring to slave, servant or compulsory lab or, the actual robot word was only derived in the 20th century despite long
existing concept of robotics since the ancient times[3]. In general, the word robot describes a machine that performs
work to assist people and work in place of a living agent .Robots consist of five major component parts the computer
which acts as the brain, the effectors which are the arms and legs of the robot, actuators that activate physical action,
sensors that receive information about its surrounding environment and mechanical fixtures which form the overall
robot hardware [1]. Pick and place robot are the most popular material handling systems; providing dependable
solutions for production lines primarily. Pick and place robots possess the ability to perform tedious, repetitive tasks
with ease ,speed allowing for faster cycle times and accuracy in comparison to human counter parts. The consistent
output long with its quality and repeatability are unmatched. Programmed to carry out actions without variation and a
high degree of accuracy, the robot's actions are typically determined by programmed routines that specify direction,
acceleration, velocity and distance of a series of co-ordinate motions. In the industrial manufacturing sector, pick and
place robots have been used in a variety of material handling applications ranging from palletizing and De-palletizing,
case picking, bin picking, kitting, machine loading and unloading, parts feeding and parts delivery. Such robots with
improvements have also been used in storage retrieval systems and case packing and sorting [1]. Miscellaneous
applications of this pick and place robot would be in the medical industry where by the pick and place robot can be
used as material handling apparatus during complicated surgery processes as well as in the space travel sector where by
the pick and place robot is used as a work transfer device transferring machinery in planets for instance satellites[3]. A
typical pick and place robot configuration acts as an interface between the convey or and the machines, loads and
unloads the parts from them machines as well as transfers the parts from one machine to the next[2].

2. PICK AND PLACE ROBOTIC ARM VEHICLE

Robotic arm is a type of mechanical arm, usually programmable, with similar functions to a human arm. The robotic
arm consists of base plate and gripper [2]. The motion to the robotic arm is given by dc motors. There are total four
12V DC motor, two on back wheels, one at arm which has 4 degrees of rotation and one motor at the gripper [2]. The
motors were selected based on the torque required for working of the arm. The light weight gripper is used for picking
the object and placing it at the desired location. The robotic arm motions are controlled by Arduino. The arm picks and
sorts the object according to its barcode.

function is most use full in the industries in abnormal condition and unusual places where a human being can’t enter,
such as in high temperature and narrow areas. The microcontroller used in it receives the commands from the android
phone. The authors are Balakrishna Annapureddy,G.V.Ramana Reddy,L.Srinivas Reddy.

The research on robotics has been done for implementing this system. The study goes on mechanical working principle
of DC motors referred from K. S. Fu & R.C. Gonzalez & C.S.G. Lee, Robotics: Control, Sensing, Vision, and
Intelligence .The study of working with DC motors include the selection of a motor based on the requirement about the
speed of the robot movement and weight to be carried and also power consumption. In this robotic system, the motors
used are having high torque and low speed because of it needs to carry some more weight of pick and place arms with
it.

RESULT

Pick and Place Robotic Arm speeds up the process of picking parts up and placing them in new place. It make easy to
move bulky, large and hazardous product from one place to another in industries. The workings of a line follower
robot are straight forward. The robot has the capability to detect a black line on a lighter surface. The robot consist an
array of IR sensors in order to calculate the reflectance of the surface. The computer controls the robot by rotating
individual step motors connected to each joint. The robot uses motion sensors to make sure it moves just the right
amount. The whole set up is interfaced with the Arduino Uno board which is the main component in system. Basically
Arduino Uno is capable of producing 5V output so to amplify it we use motor drive L293D. To control the motion of
robotic arm we use DC motor. For controlling the arm servo motor is used since it has to only hold and place the object
precisely. We have used the IR sensors for determining the objects. We use Bluetooth module which is interfaced with
Arduino. The whole programming for the setup is done by using Arduino integrated development environment
software. Program from the computer is uploaded on Arduino board with the help of USB data cable.

CONCLUSION

The aim of this project is the development of automatic pick and place robot arm controlled using arduino. The pick
and place robots are popular in assembly lines, where the repetitive tasks are present. The robotic arm used here
contains a soft catching gripper which safely handles the object. Since the assembly line is mostly about fixing different
parts in to the right section of the end product, it is best done by the pick and place robots which can work round the
clock without being tired or bored. In the modern era time and man power are major constraints for the completion of a
task. By the use of our product the industrial activities and hazardous operations can be done easily and safely in a short
span of time. The proposed system is capable of lifting weights; by introducing high torque providing motor large
weights can be picked.
