Abstract

Robotic arm is a mechanical arm which is programmed to function like a human arm. This project proposes the design of robotic arm for disabilities people for eating propose. This robot can help the disabilities people to eat and at the same time minimize the works of nurses. The objective of this project is to design and construct the robotic structure for disable people to eat and to analyze the performance of the robot in term of repeatability and accuracy. There are 4 journals that have been study when doing this project. Based on the literature review, the robot is designed part by part and the degree of freedom is decided. The robot is constructed after the components and the control system of the robot is decided. The experiment to analyze the performance of the robot in term of accuracy and repeatability have been carried out after the robot is constructed. In designing the robot, CAD software (SolidWorks) is used. The part’s design and the assembly of the robot’s parts is done by using this software. For the electrical design, Proteus software is used. The robot have 4 degree of freedom that are base, shoulder, elbow and wrist. The microcontroller for the robot is Atmega328 and Arduino Duemilanove is used to control the servo motor that is by coding the PWM into the Arduino. Experiments to analyze the performance of the robot in term of repeatability and accuracy have been carried out on this semester in PSM II. The result of the experiment is to show that the robot is able to handle a continuous movement repeatedly, and to show that how much the accuracy of the robot when lifting a load without strayed away from the original position.
