Abstract
Robotic arms with multiple degrees of freedom play a very important role in industrial applications by reducing human effort. Automation provided by these arm manipulators ensures accuracy and allows humans to be replaced in areas that are dangerous for human work. Consequently, robot manipulators have become an active area of research in recent years. This project describes the design, fabrication, control, and kinematics of a six-degree-of-freedom (6 DOF) robotic arm, which will perform pick-and-place tasks for different objects. Six degrees of freedom provide the flexibility required to perform these tasks. A suitable design has been chosen to fabricate the arm, consisting of a base, shoulder, elbow, wrist, and end-effector to execute pick-and-place operations. Manual control is implemented with the help of an Arduino on each joint to actuate the six axes of the arm. The design of the robot manipulator focuses on performing pick-and-place tasks with proper control.
