The Prototype of Arm Robot for Object Mover Using Arduino Mega 2560

摘要

Robot arm is designed to facilitate human work in industrial fields such as moving and grouping objects to a predetermined place. In this study, a prototype robotic arm for moving goods was designed using an Arduino Mega 2560 and a Pixy2 CMUCam5. The robot arm will detect the object and move the colored object to a predetermined place. The development of this robotic arm prototype uses Arduino Mega 2560, Pixy2 CMUCam5, Servo MG90S, servo SG90, jumper cable, and laptop. While the software used is Arduino IDE and PixyMon. The object used in this study is a beam that has a length and width of 5x4cm and is green and blue. The recognition of this object uses a visual sensor, namely the Pixy2 CMUCam5 camera. The Pixy camera is used to detect colors in objects, which are then processed by the Arduino Mega 2560 using the programming algorithm found in the Arduino IDE software. From the program, it will produce output in the form of movement of the 4 servos contained in each joint of the robot arm. The results obtained on this arm robot are that when the Pixy camera detects a green object, the arm robot will pick up the object and servo 4 will rotate to move the green object to the left at an angle of 180°. Meanwhile, if the Pixy camera detects a blue object, the robotic arm will pick up the object and servo 4 will rotate to move the blue object to the right at an angle of 10°.
