Design of Six DOF Watering Robotic Arm

Abstract

As an important automation device, the mechanical arm plays a pivotal role in enhancing efficiency and precision across various industries, including industrial production lines, medical surgeries, and service robot applications. Recognizing its versatility and significance, this study will work on design a robotic arm system. This research encompasses a holistic approach, addressing both the mechanical and electronic aspects of the mechanical arm system. Beginning with the mechanical design phase, advanced Computer-Aided Design (CAD) software is employed for meticulous modeling and simulation. This phase is crucial for ensuring the structural integrity, stability, and movement flexibility of the mechanical arm, thereby laying a solid foundation for subsequent stages. In parallel, the circuit control design aspect of the study is meticulously planned and executed. By designing the layout of Printed Circuit Boards (PCBs) with precision, we aim to optimize the integration of electronic components for seamless functionality. The adoption of Arduino microcontroller technology further enhances our ability to precisely control the movement and operation of the mechanical arm. Through the integration of mechanical and electronic design considerations, our aim is to develop a reliable and efficient robotic arm system capable of autonomously completing the flower-watering task with precision and accuracy. By leveraging cutting-edge technologies and innovative design principles, we aspire to contribute to the advancement of automation technology, with practical implications spanning diverse industries and applications.
