The project is all about to design and implement a small model of pick and place robot, which is organized by Microcontroller ATmega16. The pick and place robot is a microcontroller based mechatronic system that take and leave object anywhere within a certain degree and diameter around it with the help of servo motors.

The reason for choosing the project is, the most extensively form of machine is used in most of the industries like food placing in packet, car manufacturing etc. Microcontroller are widely used in embedded system products. Embedded processor provides the fast switching from one program to another as well as the ways to solve the problem associated with shared data by using RISC core.

To design a robot to pick object and place it in the desire place.

To programme robotic arm to move toward the object, picks it with end effectors, and moves along way gantry and finally place it on destination. If another object causes interrupt, it again does the same job.

To implement a versatile (in simulation first) and low cost robotic arm.

To regulate by AVR (Atmega16 microcontroller), which has a simple control mechanism with a lot of challenging assignment.

To implement a small model of the robot, of which the rotation ensues for RC Servo Motors.

Can be switch to different rotation by changing the program.

The above all of the desired mission were attained from the robot’s implementation. So the implementation of the following project is the success one.

The following project is implemented with different parts.

They are:

Mechanical Equipment Electrical Equipment Burner Procedure of ATMEL (AVR Programmer) Coding Part with Simulation (in Software)

The implementation of the robot was a long progression with mechanical aim work with exact electrical sign which is organized with a third fixation called controller domination by the rules named C Languages. Before implementation, a controller rule was established in fundamental simulation, then the mechanical aim, then electrical signs, then added them up. The expected movement of mechanical aim was found.

By the end of the task, it was successfully implemented three axes pick and place robot, which is with steady repeatability and precise implementation - all of which allows them to be extremely precise. This high precision capability has made them a good match for pick and leave appliance, provides high level of movement elasticity. Because they are deliberate with compact bases. Pick and Place robots are ideal if looking to save floor space. They are labor-intensive and tedious, moving it from one place to another is very demanding work. Pick and place robots are unaffected by the stress of the application. They are able to work without taking break or making fault.

The robot was a successful one. The movement of the robot is done using three servo motors to the three joints. These servos were controlled using AVR microcontroller ATmega16.

Future advancement can be done by replacing the paper by plywood or by metal so that it can pick heavier belongings. Another area of improvement is design of a efficient gripper which can grip object of any shape and various sizes. Introducing a feedback control system gives accurate result so that the arm can pick from a precise place and can keep it to the right place where it should be.
