Simulation of Microcontroller Based Industrial Robotic Arm controller

Abstract

Robots are used for the most boring and repetitive jobs in manufacturing. The military and police use robots for dangerous jobs, such as manipulating explosive devices. In this project of simulation of industrial robotic arm to pick and place like in cement factory at rotary packing machine, The conventional packing system is working manually by hand which need more labors to accomplish the packing process and also require a great effort from these labors which will lead to increase human error ratio. Due to that has been simulate industrial robotic arm using microcontroller ATmega16 in Proteus software and BASCOM-AVR program to get a good results to be implemented to industrial application in Cement Company of bag applicator. First we used Proteus to draw control circuit of microcontroller, stepper motor and start stop push bottom with BASCOM-AVR program to programming code of microcontroller. Also we do more experiment in circuit and code with corrected more time to achieve good result. This design intends to investigate the design and simulation to control of a 3 DOF industrial robotic arm by using stepper motors and microcontroller, the robotic arm will be controlled via the designed controller and it will be able to grab, pick up and move objects to desire point; we have arm to put empty bag in rotary packing machine and drop the fully bag in another way which like belt conveyer, The simulation results have given the positions of the motors to take and put the cement bag.
