Description
Summary:As the rise of the robotic technology toward the human life, the manufacturing sector has come to more depend on this technology where it provides a lot of benefits for the human. The field of Robotics and Control is both interdisciplinary and multidisciplinary as robot are amazingly complex systems comprising mechanical, electrical and electronics hardware and software systems and issues germane to all these. This report will then present the research of pick and place robotic arm that will attach on an Automated Guided Cart where it will provide aid to load and unload components for the industry assembly line. This project report will then simply introduce the robot arm and some problem that current manufacturing industry has facing. Then, it will also show the product of the robot arm that being designed, progress, and fabricated in order to achieve the primary objective of the robot arm. Moreover, the robot arm will then be tested by a designed experiment in order to obtain the efficiency data that will provide help to improve the robot arm and the AGV system. The study of the result will be showed at this report and some explanation of the robot arm operation will provided in order to guide the reader understand them. This research was done in order to maintain the production rate while reduce the human workforce cost demand at the industry. The development was come out based on the experience at the practical industry where the product transportation was still mainly on human workforce. Thus, this has provided the study on the cost efficiency by apply the robotic system in industry.
