Controlling and Monitoring the Performance of a Robotic Arm using Internet of Things (IoT)

Abstract

Technology, if it is not well managed and used then it will be a huge waste. It is imperative to accept the fact that technology is taking over, and the internet of things (IoT) technologies are the future. This project aimed to design and develop a smart Robotic arm that is remotely controlled and monitored using IoT. The controller of the Robotic arm system is the Arduino UNO board, and the internet connectivity is provided to the system using a Wi-Fi model. Multiple sensors have been used to create a more comprehensive system. The IoT platform used to control and monitor the Robotic arm performance is the Blynk app, which is used to display the sensors output data and control the Robotic Arm movement. The accuracy and effectiveness of the IoT platform is tested and validated by comparing its results with accurate measurement devices.
