Implementation of Handling Arm Robot Using Programmable Platforms

Abstract

The objective of this thesis is to allow the manufacturer to keep pace with modern technology using programmable platform such as Field Programmable Gate Array (FPGA) with minimum cost. Robots have many uses in industrial field such as production line, handling, medical fields …etc, to minimize time, cost and labors. And increase efficiency, performance, flexibility and reliability. Implementation of robotic arm using programmable platform is done in this thesis with ST112A, ST112C kits. Software is designed and developed on Very high speed Hardware Description Language (VHDL) to manipulate the model in various directions; ST112C kit contains three servo motors; which provide the movement of the arm.
