Abstract

This paper presents the development of robotic arm as a complimentary tool in the industrial control trainer. The robotic arm is employed to automatically move the object from the storage box to the conveyor system for further sorting process. The developed robotic arm has four degree of freedom (DOF) that consists of the shoulder part, the elbow part, the wrist part, and the gripper part. The robotic arm is developed using the low cost acrylic material and electronic components. The servo motor is employed to drive the robot arm, while the ATMega8 microcontroller is used as the main controller. The photodiode sensor is used to detect the presence of the plastic object or the metal object in the storage box. The experimental results show that the proposed system is able to achieve the goal properly and suitable to be implemented in the industrial control trainer module.
