Opis

The book is discussed on the design, analysis and fabrication of Articulated Robotic Arm for handling glass product. The project is to differentiate glass and other objects based on reflective theory. The discussion shows the design of the articulated robotic arm in detail and the chronology of the project. Mechanical design software was used to model the detail design of the robotic arm, and to simulate the motion of the device. In this project, plastic material was used to construct the body of the robotic arm, and an optical sensor was implemented to provide basic recognition of object to be carried. The robotic arm used four servomotors for overall operation; three for its joints, and one for the gripping mechanism. The gripper was designed and fabricated using aluminum sheet due to the high strength-to-density ratio of the material. The operation of the robotic arm was governed by Basic Stamp programming sequence.
