PROJECT PROPOSAL
By
Nintu Choiti & Adam Algalham
There are so many projects are using robot manipulation. Among all these
interesting project ideas we have chosen to do our project about "Hand Alike Arm
Moving Robot".
It will be related to the topics and the formulas our Professor described in class.
This robot is basically Multi input, output with end effector systems.
Our robot will be able to move any objects from one place to other place, it will be
able to move it’s whole arm 360 degree even all of it’s joint, it can push an punch
and object.
Designing our robot's success mainly depends in the structure of choosing arm
joints. There will be an estimated amount of force and gravity to get the expected
shape of the robot. They are responsible for the movement of the arm in the robot.
Here some figure to describe arm structure by using inverse and direct kinematics :
Model Of the Robot:
We have done activities on Lab 1 and Lab 2 about robot manipulation and how
does it work.
Besides we have done the formulas in class they are also related to this project.
4. Simulation
The Components :
Arduino Uno R3,
Jumper wire
Servo Motor
Robot kit for making the robot body
Screw, Bolds, Gripper
Hardwood board
Power supply (battery)
After receiving our necessary tools and equipment our 1st step was to build the
robot. As there was no manual for this, it was a little hard to give the equipment the
shape of a robot. We were able to build the robot body successfully.
Our 2nd step was to connect to servo motors in all the joints of the robot. Then we
made connections between the servo motors and the motor driver. We followed our
tinker-CAD design to make the connections between the Arduino and motor.
Frame: Servo motor and arduino connection design
To check the connection, we applied 4.14 volts to the board, but it wasn’t enough
for our robot to work. It was falling again and again. It could not stand stable. So,
we had to change that to 5 volts. Then it became stable and could stand straight.
Frame: The robot staying straight by its own
The motors started working after getting the voltage of 5V. Then we wrote Arduino
codes to make our robot work as our desired way.3 motors (base and middle two)
are working perfectly, and they can move 360 degrees. But we couldn’t figure out
the right calculations for the other 3 motors yet.
Our project deliverable is to make a Hand Alike Arm Moving Robot which will be
able to use and move its arm depending on necessity and pick and place an object in
the required place. Another goal is to make the motor movement stable and nice.
