Development of a 3DOF Color Sorting based Robotic Arm using MATLAB GUI

Abstract

Robotic arm is a popular platform of studying robotics in today's world. This paper focuses on mathematical modeling of a 3 DOF robotic arm. Kinematics and inverse kinematics approaches have been used. Both kinematics and inverse kinematics show the position and orientation of the manipulator especially the end effector. Based on the mathematical modeling the physical model has been built using Arduino Mega. For demonstrating and visualizing purposes MATLAB GUI working area has been implemented in this paper. This platform is quit efficient to get the values needed for practical modeling. The RGB color sorting ability makes the model sort out different color of boxes to specific location. The experimental model proves the effectiveness of the proposed model. The main attraction of the model is low cost and high efficiency.
