AUTOMATIC PAINT SPRAYING PICK AND PLACE EQUIPMENT
SYNOPSIS
Artificial intelligence (AI) may be related to electrical, mechanical lingistres, psychology and philosophy. In this project a micro-controller is used which is written with a program based on fuzzy logic algorithm which turns nozzle head to that direction.
Two-pneumatic cylinder and solenoid valve are provided. One cylinder is for the up and down movement and another one for the rotary motion. Fuzzy logic algorithm here used is to spray the painting in the particular direction.
INTRODUCTION
AI as we know it today is a relative field. AI began during the years of 1940’s and 1950’s.
What AI is?
AI is a branch of computer science concerned with the study and creation of computer system that exhibit some form of intelligence. The system that learn new concepts and tasks, system that reason and draw useful conclusion about the world around us. The system that can understand a natural language or perceive and comprehend a visual scene and system that performs other types of feast that require human type of intelligence.
Fuzzy logic algorithm is used for performing AI functions. FUZZY is a term that is related to the word vague or not clear forming logical or meaningful functions based on the unclear term is the concept.
We use this concept for project ‘SPRAY PAINTING SYSTEM’, with electronic control unit.
APPLICATIONS
Industrial Application
Medium scale painting industries
ADVANTAGES
• The medium is air, the operation of the arm movement is fast.
• Since the project is based on the Micro controller, it is compact and swift and response.
• Low cost intelligent robot
• Portable in size and Easy transportable
• No external devices are used here to control it.
DISADVANTAGES
• Nozzle adjustment is done by manually
• This system operated in pneumatics, so we need air tank or compressor
