Simulation of Pick and Place Robotic Arm using Coppeliasim

Abstract

Technology is growing in a fast pace in terms of higher technical aspects to meet the requirements of the present industrial revolution. Technically sound human being alone not sufficient to co-op with the industrial revolution. To meet the growing demands of any industry through the available human in is a toughest task. Current industry revolution 4.0 is being implemented all over the world with the help of robotic technology. To perform the routine works and simple tasks increase the use of robotic arm handlings. At present there is a vast requirement for these types of robots in industries to perform repeatable actions like moving objects, welding, painting, packing goods, assembling of parts 3D printing etc., These types of robots are called robotic arm which are used precisely in industries to complete the work easier, quicker with perfection. The robotic arm is formed by connecting all the joints, motors to activate each joint of the robotic arm. Robotic arm is controlled by the micro controllers through program. The robotic arm is generally five to seven degrees of freedom and capable of rotate in all the directions. End effector is connected at the edge of the robot which is used to pick the objects. End effector is like the fingers in our human arm, in robotics how better the program controls the end effector decides the performance of the robotic arm. This work discusses the design of the robot arm through the coppeliasim. The designed manipulator gives the accurate and reliable output for picking and placing the object.
