Abstract:
Robots arm are used for the most boring and repetitive jobs in
manufacturing. Also they are used in dangerous and unpleasant jobs
such as sorting and recycling wastes. So, in this research arobotic arm
with three degree of freedom was designed to detect and collect the
iron particles from different wastes. It was simulated with Proteus
Virtual System Modeling (VSM) software, then built and tested. The
model consists of a 3 servomotors which are controlled by an Atmega-
16L microcontroller programmed via BASCOM-AVR software. In
this model the waste will be fed to the conveyor belt while it's moving.
The metal Sensors which are clamped below the conveyor belt, will
sense the iron particles and in stop the conveyor belt. A robotic arm to
which an electromagnet is attached will extract the iron particles from
the waste and will deposit it into a box. The other wastes will be
carried on further once the iron particles are extracted and dumped into
a waste box.
