Robotic arm
ABSTRACT
Robotic arm has become popular in the world of robotics. The essential part of the robotic arm is a programmable microcontroller based brick capable of driving basically it have DC motors design to form an anthropomorphic structure. This paper explains the method of interfacing the “Design and Development of Embedded Based Robotic Arm “with the programmed ARM-based microcontroller which is used to control the robot operations. We have employed the Embedded C language in programming our microcontroller. A sample robot which can grab (by magnetizing) and release small objects (by demagnetizing) is built for demonstrating the method.
Based on the combination of advanced RISC microprocessor (ARM), this paper introduces an approach for developing embedded robot control systems. The design of embedded control system includes four aspects, i.e., system structure, functions, hardware, and software design. In the development of the system, some features are included such as hierarchy structure, modular hardware, and structured software, to make the system suitable for a variety of robot applications through some hardware adjustment and software customization only. The effectiveness of proposed approach has been verified by a straight line motion demonstration of a series manipulator.
