Abstract

A versatile robotic arm that can perform a variety of tasks in a variety of environments is the goal of this project, which will involve designing the arm’s mechanical structure, choosing and integrating appropriate motors, and programming the control system, which will be based on a microcontroller that will receive input from the potentiometer and translate it into movement commands for the arm. In the current scenario, machines and robots play an important role in the automation industry. This study presents the process through which a robotic arm is made, using Arduino and a potentiometer to control and coordinate industrial processes. Numerous operations, such as manufacturing, assembly, and inspection, as well as medical and rehabilitation settings, can make use of the robotic arm. To increase productivity and efficiency across a range of industries, this project seeks study and dependable robotic arm that can carry out intricate operations with extreme accuracy and precision. In this study, we use potentiometers as sensors to accurately control a robotic arm’s movements. These sensors are placed on each joint and change their resistance as the joints rotate. By measuring these changes, we can precisely track the arm’s position and how much each joint moves. This ensures smooth and accurate control, making the robotic arm more reliable for various applications.
