Abstract

Robotic arm has been widely use in manufacturing industry as part of automation system. Typical applications of robots in industry include welding, painting, assembly pick and place, packaging and palletizing, product inspection, and testing. PC based robotic arm has the same mechanism as the robots in industry. The pc based robotic arm is fully controlled by a computer, where the user has to control the movement of robot using the serial servo controller software. The serial servo controller circuit is serially connected to the pc, thus provide communication between the pc and the circuit. The signal from the computer will be received by the PIC at the circuit. The justified signal will then be use to execute the output to the servo motor, thus provide the necessary movement of the robotic arm. This project is to fabricate the robotic arm that can be directly controlled by computer. The special attributes of the project is the robotic arm is pc based. Its mean that the robot is fully controlled by the computer, makes it different than typical automatic and manual control robot. The project is very useful in gaining new experience and knowledge on robot arm fabrication and programming.
