Automatic Control of Color Sorting and Pick/Place of a 6- DOF Robot Arm

Abstract

This work focuses on the implementation and design of a six degree of freedom, 6-DOF control of automatic color sorting and pick and place tasks for a robot arm using wireless controlling interface – Blynk apps. Based on the collaboration between the servo motor and input color sensor, this wireless control of automatic color sorting robot arm provides a powerful wireless control GUI (Graphics User Interface) and to enable the method for manual color sorting mode. The color sorting mode is performed once the mode is turned on by the user. The robot arm able to differentiate the colors of the object (input) and categorize or classify the object to the correct places automatically. It provides a stable, efficient, and precision results without any vibration of control as the main target for this project. In this work, six servo motors were used to realize the real robotic arm for industrial use. Five servos were operated to control the entire robot arm motion including the base, shoulder, and elbow as well as one servo is reserved for the positioning of the end effector. Two input variables namely TSC3200 Color Sensors & HC-SR04 Ultrasonic Sensors were employed as the input for the robot arm. The output variable mainly focused on the servo motor as the links for the robot arm to reposition and change the motion for the entire system.

Detection of the Use of Mask to Prevent the Spread of COVID-19 Using SVM, Haar Cascade Classifier, and Robot Arm

“…The previous research by Jie et al [6] utilized a 6-DOF robotic arm with a Blynk wireless controller interface that can detect object colors and take sorting actions to pick up and place objects into certain positions according to their color. The robot arm exists as an embodiment of industrial needs.…”

Modeling of an Automatic Excavation Mechanism for a Parallelepiped Foundation - Application in Building Construction Preparation

“…The complete set of inertia and friction parameters is identified by applying the least squares method to the experimental data collected during the displacement of the links by a tele-operated control of the machine [5,6]. In a similar study, a tele-operated system was developed for the manipulator arm of an excavator, the sensors are attached to the arm to detect its movement, the actuators transmit wireless communications via Bluetooth [7,8], or by a TCP/IP protocol [9]. Other techniques use a joystick for the coordinated position control (CPC) of the excavator arm, the CPC is obtained using a joystick whose kinematics is similar to the arm movement of the excavator [10,11].…”

IoT-Based Distributed Simulation of Industrial Automation Production Line Management

“…In particular, in the field of industrial automation production, the IoT boasts a good prospect. It has replaced the traditional manual statistics, changed the traditional supervision, and realized the safe and reliable supervision of modern production lines [10][11][12][13][14][15][16][17][18][19][20][21][22].…”
