Design and Implementation of Pick and Place Robot with Wireless Charging Application

Mankind has always strived to give life like qualities to its artifacts in an attempt to find substitutes for himself to carry out his orders and also to work in a hostile environment. The popular concept of a robot is of a machine that looks and works like a human being. The industry is moving from current state of automation to Robotization, to increase productivity and to deliver uniform quality. One type of robot commonly used in industry is a robotic manipulator or simply a robotic arm known as pick and place robot. It is an open or closed kinematic chain of rigid links interconnected by movable joints. In this paper pick and place robot is been designed which performs its operation by using android via object detection application and PIC microcontroller. This application is been programmed in java language. In transmitter part the voice input is given by using HM2007 to microcontroller by using RF module. In receiver section the RF receiver will receive this voice input and it will be given to the microcontroller. Simultaneously the object to be picked will be done by using android application where the camera of the android mobile will capture the objects. The output from the mobile will be send through Bluetooth to the microcontroller and that will allow the motor to move in order to pick the object. In this paper wireless charging application is also been implemented by using electromagnetic induction concept that allows the robot to charge itself whenever the onboard battery goes low.
