Abstract

This comprehensive report outlines the development of a cost-effective IoT-driven automated object sorting system, incorporating a robot arm and microcontroller. Specifically designed to address financial constraints in educational environments, the project introduces an affordable robotic arm tailored for educational purposes, enhancing students' understanding of robotics. The system leverages IoT sensors to gather real-time data on color recognition, object positioning, and sorting progress, facilitating precise control of the robot arm and microcontroller for accurate and efficient sorting operations. Key project objectives encompass the creation of a robot arm kit with color-detection capabilities, the design of a holistic system for object sorting with mobile phone control, and the implementation of hardware, software, IoT integration, and sorting algorithms. The prototype comprises an articulated robot arm managed by an ESP32 microcontroller, a TCS3200 color sensor for precise color detection, and an IoT platform for continuous monitoring. Successfully meeting its objectives, this project not only exemplifies the potential of IoT integration in industrial automation but also represents a significant advancement in automated sorting systems, highlighting the pivotal role of IoT in elevating accuracy and efficiency across diverse applications in the field.
