Automated Mobile Robot with Robot ARM

In the case of this study, an attempt has been made to design a simple robot that could potentially be able to move andoperate on its own, with no assistance from outside. Being more precise, In our case specifically, our objective has beenmet by attaching a robot arm on a moving structure controlled through the Arduino uno board. In terms of control andfunctionality, an obstacle detection system with an HC-SR04 sensor has been implemented in order to prevent theplatform from colliding with anything; an L298N driver was used to control four DC geared motors of the chassis,whereas an assortment of SG90 and MG996R servos was employed to control each arm joint according to torquerequirements. To cut it short, the final results were even better than expected – there have been no collisions whatsoeverduring obstacle avoidance tests, while the manipulator achieved a success ratio close to 93% for pick-and place actions.Our battery has been charged fully and cycled many times before; it provides us with at least 45 minutes of uninterruptedpower supply..The control software is developed using Embedded C in the Arduino IDE environment. The following recommendationshave been made for the next iteration of the robot: implementing a camera sensor for vision-based object recognition,enabling wireless connectivity for real-time surveillance, and incorporating path planning instead of time delay fornavigation.
