Abstract:
The paper focuses on designing and
implementation of an interactive robotic arm for pick and
place and service applications. The robot is expected to have
image processing and voice recognition capability.
Therefore once an object is placed on the coordinate plane
of the robot, it has the ability to detect the colour or shape
of the body, calculate its coordinates and then lift the object.
The manipulator moves the end effector to the final position
using inverse kinematics calculation of each joint angle. The
mechanical structure is simulated using forward kinematics
and for this Denavit-Hartenberg parameter method is used
for the proposed design and hence the mechanical structure
is simulated in MATLAB and SolidWorks. Forward
kinematics analysis is done through Robotics Toolbox and
Matlab. Manipulator is implemented according these
parameters chosen according to the design requirements
and assessed the scope of the robot arm.
