Abstract - The pick and place robot is designed so that user
is going to fill the liquid in bottle according to volume
occupied in the bottle and after the bottle is filled robot will
do pick and place operation by mechanical devices such as
gripper and robotic arm.The design is carried out on a low-
cost robot platform for development of pick and place the
things. There is establishment of both wireless
communication between the mobile robot and the remote
base station, and serial communication between the remote
base station and the GUI application. The base station
requires the serial communication with the GUI application
and also needs to be hardwired with the radio packet
controller. Our aim is to be able to command and control the
Robot wirelessly by the GUI application. The main task of
this project is divided two parts: (1) to program the AVR
microcontroller on both the base station and the robot
interfaced to the radio packet controller module which
would enable us to wirelessly control the robot; (2) to
program the GUI application which would enable us to
serially control the base station. Theoretical system
limitation for the packet transmission is evaluated and
analyzed. The packet stress to the wireless module while
varying the number of robots and the payload data is tested.
The wireless parts were evaluated with CRC error checking.
It was observed that control through both wireless
base station, and serial communication between the remote
base station and the GUI application. Hence the wireless
communication and the serial communication were
successful in the demodulation scheme.
1.INTRODUCTION
1.1 INTRODUCTION TO ROBOTICS
Robotics researchers regularly endow robot platforms
with new capabilities that increase the breadth of
potential applications and push the boundaries of
autonomy. In contrast, industrial automation is driven by a
pragmatism dictated by the need to optimize throughput
and reliability. The hope of both is that, as multi-purpose
robotic platforms become more capable, they will be able
to take over an increasing fraction of the tasks currently
handled by application specific, fixed installation
automation, thereby granting all applications greater
levels of modularity and adapt ability which is expressed
in [1]. We are now seeing an acceleration of the rate at
which research robotics feeds into engineering practice. In
this project we are trying to establish both wireless
base station, and serial communication between the
remote base station and the GUI application. The base
station requires the serial communication with the GUI
application and also needs to be hardwired with the radio
packet controller. Our aim is to be able to command and
control the Robot wirelessly by the GUI Application as
given in [3]. The main task of this project is two parts:
(1) To program the AVR microcontroller on both the base
station and the robot interfaced to the radio packet
controller module which would enable us to wirelessly
control the robot
(2) To program the GUI application which would enable us
to serially control the base station?
Theoretical system limitation for the packet transmission
is evaluated and analyzed. We tested packet stress to the
wireless module while varying the number of Robots and
the payload data. The wireless parts were evaluated with
CRC error checking. As a result, we achieved control both
wireless communication between the mobile robot and
the remote base station, and serial communication
between the remote base station and the GUI application.
This level of completely was successfully tested on groups
at up to four robots. Hence the wireless communication
and the serial communication were successful in the
demodulation scheme.
A robot may appear like a human being or an animal or a
simple electro-mechanical device. A robot may act under
the direct control of a human (e.g., the robotic arm of the
space shuttle) or autonomously under the control of a
programmed computer. Robots may be used to perform
tasks that are too dangerous or difficult for humans to
implement directly (e.g.,. nuclear waste cleanup) or may
be used to automate repetitive tasks that can be
performed more cheaply by a robot than by the
employment of a human (e.g.,. automobile production) or
may be used to automate mindless repetitive tasks that
should be performed with more precision by a robot than
by a human (material handling, material transfer
applications, machine loading and unloading, processing
operations, assembly and inspection).The last two decades
have witnessed a significant advance in the field of robots

application. Many more applications are expected to
appear in space exploration, battlefield and in various
actives of daily life in the coming years.
A robot is a mechanical device that performs automated
tasks and movements, according to either pre-defined
program or a set of general guidelines and direct human
supervision. These tasks either replace or enhance human
work, such as in manufacturing, contraction or
manipulation of heavy or hazardous material. Robot is an
integral part in automating the flexible manufacturing
system that one greatly in demand these days. Robots are
now more than a machine, as robots have become the
solution of the future as cost labor wages and customers
demand. Even though the cost of acquiring robotic system
is quite expensive but as today's rapid development and a
very high demand in quality with IS0 standards, human
are no longer capable of such demands. Research and
development of future robots is moving at a very rapid
pace due to the constantly improving and upgrading of the
quality standards of products. In this project we are going
to perform three main actions the robot is going to pick
operation to place operation and to filled the quantity of
liquid according to user.
1.2 KEY COMPONENTS OF ROBOT
Automation as a technology is concerned with the use of
mechanical, electrical, electronic and computer-based
control systems to replace human beings with machines,
not only for physical work but also for the development of
information processing. Industrial automation, which
started in the eighteenth century as fixed automation has
transformed into flexible and programmable automation
in the last 15 or 20 years. Computer numerically
controlled machine tools, transfer and assembly lines are
some examples in this category.
Figure1.1 Component of Robot
Common people are easily influenced by science fiction
and thus imagine a robot a humanoid that can walk, see,
hear, speak, and do the desired work as shown in figure
1.1. But the scientific interpretation of science fiction
scenario propounds a robot as an automatic machine that
is able to interact with and modify the environment in
which it operates. Therefore, it is essential to define what
constitutes a robot. Different definitions from diverse
sources are available for a robot.
1.3 LAW OF ROBOTICS
Isaac Asimov conceived the robots as humanoids, devoid
of feelings, and used them in a number of stories. His
robots were well-designed, fail-safe machines, whose
brains were programmed by human beings. Anticipating
the dangers and havoc such a device could cause, he
postulated rules for their ethical conduct. Robots were
required to perform according to three principles known
as “Three laws of Robotics”’ which are as valid for real
robots as they were for Asimov’s robots and they are:
1. A robot should not injure a human being or, through
inaction, allow a human to be harmed.
2. A robot must obey orders given by humans except when
that conflicts with the First Law.
3. A robot must protect its own existence unless that
conflicts with the First or Second law.
These are very general laws and apply even to other
machines and appliances. They are always taken care of in
any robot design.

2. DEVELOPMENT OF PICK AND PLACE ROBOT IN
INDUSTRIAL APPLICATIONS
2.1 BLOCK DIAGRAM OF THE DEVELOPMENT OF PICK
AND PLACE ROBOT
From the below proposed diagram for development of
pick and place shown in figure3.1,User will give the input
through GUI and it on soloniodal pump it will filled liquid
in the bottle. The gripper is connected to robotic arm that
pick the bottle according to programming of
Microcontroller and place to desired location. Once work
will completed it will report through RF module that work
completed ready to do another work user can move the
robot position and command through PC.

Figures 2.1 Block diagram for development of pick and
place robot.
• Input and output devices: RF module.
• Input device: GUI window.
• Mechanical devices: Gripper, Robotic arm,
solenoidal pump.
2.2 CIRCUIT DESIGN FOR DEVELOPMENT OF PICK AND
PLACE ROBOT
The microcontroller operate the task such as forward
,reverse,left,right.It also performed bottle filling and pick
and place operation. User sends the signal through RF
module. Receiver circuit is interfaced to microcontroller to
received it and execute the instruction according the
programming. It is high performance, low power AVR 8 bit
microcontroller. The microcontroller is Atmega-16 that
comes under AVR family which itself has an Analog to
Digital Converter (ADC) converts the analog voltages of
the sensors into digital form.
Figure 2.2 Circuit diagram of development of pick and
place robot in industrial objective.
The microcontroller then sends data to the RF module
using Rx-Tx (Receiver-Transmitter) Serial UART interface.
The RF module manufactured by Roving Networks is used
here is Atmega-16 that comes under AVR family which
itself has an Analog to Digital Converter (ADC). The
microcontroller then sends data to the RF module using
Rx-TX (Receiver-Transmitter) Serial UART interface. The
RF module manufactured by Roving Networks is used.
Atmega16 has higher code memory and RAM as compare
to 8051. The AVR is much faster. It executes most
instructions in a single clock cycle, as against 12 for a
standard 8051 or 6 for one of the high speed variants. If
you're converting an existing project, it's really important
to take this into account, or all the timing will be wrong.
Further, AVRs have an internal calibrated clock option, so
in many cases you don't need a crystal and gain two extra
port pins. They had inbuilt circuitry for ADC , SPI , I2C,
UART, internal pull up registers etc. with their L&H 8bit
registers , they were capable of performing primitive 16bit
operations by breaking down the data in to H and L 8 bit
values. They even had internal oscillators on certain
flavors
2.3 MATHEMATICAL MODEELING FOR DEVELOPMENT
OF PICK AND PLACE ROBOT
A system is an integrated whole of parts or subsystems. A
system has specified goal or output for a given set of
inputs; a system may have many goals as well. A robot is a
system as it combines much subsystem that interacts
among themselves as well as environment in which robot
works.
2.3.1 Mathematical Model for DC Motor
DC motor of relatively small size, the relationships that
govern the behavior of the motor in various circumstances
can be derived from physical laws and characteristics of
the motors themselves. Kirchhoff’s voltage rule states,
"The sum of the potential increases in a circuit loop must
equal the sum of the potential decreases." When applied to
a DC motor connected in series with a DC power source,
Kirchhoff’s voltage rule can be expressed as "The nominal
supply voltage from the power source must be equal in
magnitude to the sum of the voltage drop across the
resistance of the armature windings and the back EMF
generated by the motor.":
Vo = (I × R) + Vet
Where:
Vo = Power supply (Volts)
I = Current (A)
R = Terminal Resistance (Ohms)
Ve = Back EMF (Volts)
The back EMF generated by the motor is directly
proportional to the angular velocity of the motor. The

proportionality constant is the back EMF constant of the
motor [5].
Ve = ω × ke
Where: ω= angular velocity of the motor
Ke = back EMF constant of the motor
Therefore, by substitution:
Vo = (I × R) + (ω × k e)
The back EMF constant of the motor is usually specified by
the motor manufacturer in volts/RPM or mV/RPM. In
order to arrive at a meaningful value for the back EMF, it is
necessary to specify the motor velocity in units compatible
with the specified back EMF constant. The motor constant
is a function of the coil design and the strength and
direction of the flux lines in the air gap. Although it can be
shown that the three motor constants normally specified
(back EMF constant, torque constant, and velocity
constant) are equal if the proper units are used,
calculation is facilitated by the specification of three
constants in the commonly accepted units. The torque
produced by the rotor is directly proportional to the
current in the armature windings. The proportionality
constant is the torque constant of the motor.
Mo = I × kM
Where:
Mo = torque developed at rotor
kM = motor torque constant
Substituting this relationship:
V= (M × R) + (ω × kM)
The torque developed at the rotor is equal to the friction
torque of the motor plus the resisting torque due to
external mechanical loading:
Mo = Ml + M f
Where:
Mf = motor friction torque
Ml = load torque
Assuming that a constant voltage is applied to the motor
terminals, the motor velocity will be directly proportional
to sum of the friction torque and the load torque. The
constant of proportionality is the slope of the torque-
speed curve and can be calculated by:
∆n / ∆M = n0 / M H
Where:
MH = stall torque
n0= no-load speed
It is describing loss of velocity as a function of increased
torsional load. So in this project requires DC motor for
wheels (200 RPM), arm (100RPM) and gripper (60RPM).
2.3.2 Mathematical Model for ARM
From motor specifications we get, Torque = 2 kg-cm = 20
kg-mm and Radius of shaft of motor = 2.5 m.
Therefore, Torque = Force × Radius of shaft
T=F×R………………………………………………………. (2.1)
Therefore force generated by motor can be
calculated by equation (2.1)
Therefore, F = (20 / 2.5) × g = 8 kg × g
MB = m.g × 220 = 8×g × cos20 × 145
Therefore, m = 4.95 kg
Hence the maximum load calculated is 4.95 kg. The actual
load will be less than the calculated value because the
weight of the material used in constructing the arm was
light and also weight of gripper mechanism was not taken
into consideration.
2.3.3 Mathematical Model for Mechanical Gripper
A mechanical gripper is used as an end effector in
a robot for grasping the objects with its mechanically
operated fingers. In industries, two fingers are enough for
holding purposes. More than three fingers can also be used
based on the application. As most of the fingers are of
replaceable type, it can be easily removed and replaced. A
robot requires either hydraulic, electric, or pneumatic
drive system to create the input power. The power
produced is sent to the gripper for making the fingers
react. It also allows the fingers to perform open and close
actions [6]. Most importantly, a sufficient force must be
given to hold the object. In a mechanical gripper, the
holding of an object can be done by two different methods
such as:
• Using the finger pads as like the shape of the work
part.
• Using soft material finger pads.
In the first method, the contact surfaces of the fingers are
designed according to the work part for achieving the
estimated shape. It will help the fingers to hold the work
part for some extent.
In the second method, the fingers must be capable of
supplying sufficient force to hold the work part. To avoid
scratches on the work part, soft type pads are fabricated
on the fingers. As a result, the contact surface of the finger
and co – efficient of friction are improved. This method is
very simple and as well as less expensive. It may cause
slippage if the force applied against the work part is in the
parallel direction. The slippage can be avoided by
designing the gripper based on the force exerted.
µnfFg=w…………………………………………… (2.2)
µ => co – efficient of friction between the work part and
fingers
nf => no. of fingers contacting
Fg => Force of the gripper
w => weight of the grasped object

The equation (2.2) must be changed if the weight of a
work part is more than the force applied to cause the
slippage.
µnfFg=wg…..………………………………... (2.3)
g => g factor
During rapid grasping operation, the work part
will get twice the weight. To get rid out of it, the modified
equation (2.2) is put forward by Engel berger. The g factor
in the equation (2.3) is used to calculate the acceleration
and gravity.
2.4 SOFTWARE DESIGN
2.4.1 GUI Method for User Window Design Technique
A graphical user interface (GUI) is a graphical display that
contains devices, or components, that enable a user to
perform interactive tasks. To perform these tasks, the user
of the GUI does not have to create a script or type
commands at the command line. Often, the user does not
have to know the details of the task at hand. The GUI
components can be menus, toolbars, push buttons, radio
buttons, list boxes, and sliders just to name a few. In
MATLAB, a GUI can also display data in tabular form or as
plots, and can group related components. The GUI contains
• An axes component
• A pop-up menu listing three data sets that correspond to
MATLAB
Functions: peaks, membrane, and sink
• A static text component to label the pop-up menu
• Three buttons that provide different kinds of plots:
surface, mesh, and contour. When you click a push button,
the axes component displays the selected data
Set using the specified plot.
Each component, and the GUI itself, are associated with
one or more user-written routines known as callbacks.
The execution of each callback is triggered by a particular
user action such as a button push, mouse click, selection of
a menu item, or the cursor passing over a component [7].
The creator of the GUI, provide these callbacks. The
callback functions you provide control how the GUI
responds to events such as button clicks, slider movement,
menu item selection, or the creation and deletion of
components. There is a set of callbacks for each
component and for the GUI figure itself. The callback
routines usually appear in the M-file following the
initialization code and the creation of the components.
This kind of programming is often referred to as event-
driven programming. The event in the example is a button
click. In event-driven programming, callback execution is
asynchronous, controlled by events external to the
software. In the case of MATLAB GUIs, these events usually
take the form of user interactions with the GUI. The writer
of a callback has no control over the sequence of events
that leads to its execution or, when the callback does
execute, what other callbacks might be running
simultaneously [6].
2.4.1.1 Algorithm for designing the GUI window
1. First declare the character A to H.
A= dc motor forward, B= dc motor reverse= left, D=right,
E= solenoid of= solenoid off, G= relay on, H= relay off.
2. Create push pull button labeled the name and
select the size.
3. Select the baud rate 9600. The baud rate is the
rate at which information is transferred in a
communication channel. In the serial port context, "9600
baud" means that the serial port is capable of transferring
a maximum of 9600 bits per second. If the information
unit is one baud (one bit), the bit rate and the baud rate
are identical. If one baud is given as 10 bits, (for example,
eight data bits plus two framing bits), the bit rate is still
9600 but the baud rate is 9600/10, or 960. You always
configure Baud Rate as bits per second. Therefore, in the
previous example, set Baud Rate to 9600.
4. Now generate the M File.
5. Through the RF module User will transmit the
instruction to Robot. The designed window will show in
figure 2.3 GUI window.
Figure 2.3 GUI Window
2.4.2 Micro AVR for Atmega16 Programming
Micro PRO for AVR® organizes applications into projects
consisting of a single project file (file with the .cap
extension) and one or more source files (files with the .c
extension). The micro PRO for AVR® compiler allows you
to manage several projects at a time. Source files can be
compiled only if they are part of the project [8]. AVR is a
family of microcontrollers developed by Atmel beginning
in 1996. AVR was one of the first microcontroller families
to use on-chip flash memory for program storage, as
opposed to one-time programmable ROM, EPROM, or
EEPROM used by other microcontrollers at the time. Re:
aver microcontroller. According to Wikipedia, AVR stands
for either 'Advanced Virtual RISC' or 'Alf and Vegard
[RISC]': The AVR basic architecture was conceived by two
students at the Norwegian Institute of Technology (NTH)
Alf-Egil Bogen and Vegard Wollan.

A project file contains:
• Project name and optional description;
• Target device in use;
• Device clock;
• List of the project source files;
• Binary files (*.mcl); and
• Other files.

condition blocks for A, B, C, D, E, F, G and H.
A = Forward

system.
When the condition ch==B is executed the
character B is assigned to robot move reverse, otherwise it
goes toward next loop. In that loop if ch==C is given then
robot moves right side. The no action is denoted by X.
From the figure 2.4 b, Y is conditional block, if the
character ch==E is received, the robot arm up for picking
the bottle. When ch==F is received then arm of robot
down for placing the bottle.

program ch==G is received. The relay is on for certain
amount of time. For relay stop action as desired time is
completed, it receives the ch==When ch==I is received if
yes then robot stop otherwise no action.
3. PERFORMANCE METHODOLOGY
3.1 COMMENTS ON DEVELOPMENT OF PICK AND
PLACE ROBOT
Robots are outfitted with wide reaches and slim
arms, steady repeatability and precise tooling - all of
which allows them to be extremely accurate. This high
precision capability makes them a good match for
applications. One of the main advantages of is flexibility.
robots are easily programmable. They are able to
accommodate multiple changes in product shape and type.
In addition, robots provide a high level of movement
flexibility. Robot systems have the ability to improve
product quality and cycle time. Robotic movements are
regulated, so the results are always the same. Quality is
improved because of this regularity. Furthermore, this
consistency allows the processes to take place. Because
they are designed with compact base s, pick and place
robots are ideal if you are looking to conserve floor space.
Robots can be programmed to move within strict limits -
leading to even better use of space. Pick and place
applications can be physically demanding [9]. They are
labor-intensive, repetitive, and monotonous. Depending
on the weight and size of a part, moving it from one place
to another can be very demanding work. Pick and place
robots are unaffected by the stresses of the application.
They are able to work without taking breaks or making
mistake. Incorporating pick and place robots can
effectively cut your costs. Robotic precision and reliability
allow for less wasted material and more efficient use of
time. Plus, the initial investment in robots is quickly
recouped - making pick and place robots an extremely
cost-effective solution.
In industrial point of view, it has very few problems in
overcoming to developed system. The initial investment to
integrate automated into your business is significant,
especially when business owners are limiting their
purchases to robotic equipment. The cost of should be
calculated in light of a business’ greater financial budget.
Regular maintenance needs can have a financial toll as
well. Without planning, companies can have difficulty
achieving their goals. Employees will require training
program and interact with the robotic equipment. This
normally takes time and financial output. Robots may
protect workers from some hazards, but in the meantime,
their very presence can create other safety problems.
These dangers must be taken into consideration.
3.2 CALCULATION FOR DC MOTOR
Motor is to be operated with 12 volts applied to the motor
terminals. The torque load is 0.00141 N-m. Find the
resulting motor speed, motor current and efficiency. From
the motor data sheet, it can be seen that the no-load speed
of the motor at 12 volts is 200 rpm. If the torque load is
not coupled to the motor shaft, the motor would run at
this speed. The motor speed under load is simply the no-
load speed less the reduction in speed due to the load [10].
The proportionality constant for the relationship between
motor speed and motor torque is the slope of the torque
vs.speed curve, given by the motor no-load speed divided
by the stall torque. In this example, the speed reduction
caused by the 0.00141 N-m torque load is: 0.00141 N-m x
(200 rpm/.0044770 N-m) = -200 rpm
The motor speed under load must then be:
11,700 rpm – 3690 rpm = 8010 rpm
The motor current under load is the sum of the no-load
current and the current resulting from the load.The
proportionality constant relating current to torque load is
the torque constant (k M), in this case, 0.007336 oz –in/A.
In this case, the load torque is 0.00141 N-m, and the
current resulting from the load must be:
I = 0.00141 N-m x 1 amp/0.007336 N –m = 192 mA
The total motor current must be the sum of this value and
the motor no-load current. The data sheet lists the motor
no-load current as 11 mA. Therefore, the total current is:
192 mA + 11 mA = 203 mA
The mechanical power output of the motor is simply the
product of the motor speed and the torque load with a
correction factor for units (if required). Therefore, the
mechanical power output of the motor in this application
is:
Output power = 0.2 N-m x 8010 rpm x .00074 = 1.18Watts
The mechanical power input to the motor is the product of
the applied voltage and the total motor current in Amps. In
this application:
Input power = 9 volts x .203 A = 1.82 Watts
Since efficiency is simply power out divided by power in,
the efficiency in this application is:
Efficiency = 1.18 Watts / 1.82 Watts = .65 = 65%
3.3 RESULT OF DEVELOPMENT OF PICK AND PLACE
ROBOT
Testing can be automated to free workers from repetitive
tasks, as well as to increase test consistency and
traceability. If the data coming from the robot into quality
assurance system then detection of abnormalities during
your production process can be done.

of 199.6 means the system result is nearly equal to
desirable quantity. The robot doesn’t have accuracy but it
has factor affecting or the factor through which estimation
of accuracy is done. One of the major factors is precision.

It means that the result is obtained how much differed
from each other as our desired quantity is of 200 ml. In the
statistical definition precision is nothing but standard
deviation the robot has 89.83.It is nearly equal to ideal
robot capability
3.5 ROBOT FROM TOP AND BOTTOM VIEW
Pick and place robot in industrial application
consist of base, arm, gripper, tank having capacity of 1
lit.This robot is moving vehicle which can lift, filled the
bottle and place the bottle to the desired location. The arm
of robot works with the help of pulley mechanism which is
actuated by motor. The end effector used here is gripper.
Figure 3.3 Photograph of robot from bottom view
User will give the input through GUI and it on soloniodal
pump it will filled liquid in the bottle. The gripper is
connected to robotic arm that pick the bottle according to
programming of Microcontroller and place to desired
location. Once work will completed it will report through
RF module that work completed ready to do another work
user can move the robot position and command through
PC.
From figure 3.3 dc motor and battery of 12V @ 2A placed
at bottom. The entire component placed on wooden
chassis. The dc motors from each side are connected in
series and opposite side are connected in parallel. The
switch is used to on and off the robot.
Figure 3.4 Photograph of Robot from top view
Figure 3.4 shows side view of robot. On the top of
robot system the microcontroller circuit and motor
controlled driver is assembled. The tank is fixed on it.The
plastic pipe is used to fill the liquid in the bottle. The
quantity is decided by user through GUI window.The
system provides so many functions to the user. There are
many key which operate motion of robot that is left, right,
forward, stop and reverse. For pick the thing there is
gripper on and gripper off buttons are provided at GUI
window. For place the thing there are arm up and arm
down. For filling the bottle there are direct quantity button
are displayed on GUI window such as 100, 200 up to 2
lit.The relay is on for respective amount of time.
The system is user defined, who is driver here.If any case
obstacle come user can easily handle the situation. In the
field work system easily operated in rainy season
precaution is taken that all circuits are placed at plastic
box.
4 CONCLUSIONS
The design and development of pick and place robot has
been carried out. A prototype was confirmed functional
working of robot system. This system would make it easier
for human beings to pick and place the risk of handling
suspicious objects, which could be hazardous in its present
environment and workplace. Complex and complicated
duties can be achieved faster and more accurately with
this design. A robotic arm is implemented using Atmega16
in pick and place objects more safely without incurring
much damage. The robotic arm used here contains a soft
catching gripper, which safely handles the object. In the
modern era, time and man power are major constraints
for the completion of a task. By the use of product, the
industrial activities and hazardous operations can be done
easily and safely in a short span of time. The use of soft
catching gripper and low power wireless communication
technique like RF module makes our system more
effective when compared to other systems. The developed
system is capable of lifting only small weights; by

introducing high torque motor large weights can be
picked. A wireless camera can also be implemented to
track the movement of the vehicle and thus it can be used
for defence purposes. The range is also a limitation here
but it can be enhanced.
In this project, it was observed that control through both
wireless communication between the mobile robot and
the remote base station, and serial communication
between the remote base station and the GUI application.
The main task of this project was to program the AVR
microcontroller on both the base station and the robot
interfaced to the radio packet controller module which
would enable to wirelessly control the robot and to
program the GUI application which would enable us to
serially control the base station.
4.1 FUTURE SCOPE
Our efforts to develop a low-cost integrated system for
development of pick and place robot have thus far resulted
in the iterative development of a tested, proven hardware
platform. The software stack has been developed for
localization, navigation, and radioactive element detection.
Future work can be done on the robustness of court
localization and further code optimizations, which are two
necessary steps for the integration of these components.
The eventual goal for this project is fully automated bottle
filling pick and place robot with minimum space. The
preliminary results for localization, motion planning and
bottle detection are encouraging. The communication
from the Robots to GUI application can be implemented
through the base station so that it can control up to 10
Robots from the GUI application through the base station
that use a secured wireless channel using encryption and
decryption. Considerably larger bandwidth system should
be on board because video streaming service is desired.
The future work can make the system robust to
environmental variations; it can also aim to develop the
decision-making functionality of the platform to create a
truly autonomous system.
