Modeling and Implementation of a Mobile Robotic Arm for Industrial Tasks

Abstract

Mobile Robotic Arm is a key of many new applications of robotics in industry, construction, nuclear tasks, even in space. The essential part of the mobile robotic arm is a programmable microcontroller based brick capable of driving basically two gear motors and three stepper motors. An advanced model and implementation of a mobile robotic arm are presented in this paper. This paper presents the method of interfacing the robotic arm, stepper motors and gear motors with the programmed ATmega8 microcontroller which is used to control the robot operations. A simple mobile robotic arm can grab an object and transfer it from one place to another successfully and fulfill the requirements of industrial tasks.
