CONSTRUCTION OF MANIPULATOR FOR INTELLIGENT MANUFACTURING SYSTEM

Ing. Kaushik Pitty Surendranath

Master's thesis

Abstract:

In this thesis, the work is based upon three parts of the tasks. First part of the task is selecting of the suitable design of the robot, compatible to the operation that we need to perform in the task. The second part of the thesis work will be selecting of the suitable Arduino board as per the number of inputs and output pins that are required for the operation. The third part of the thesis is the programming. The programming for the robot is done using the Arduino software. The Arduino language of programming is one of the simple programming language for the working of the Robot. The coding will be reflected in the motion of the robot through the Arduino board connected to the robot. This thesis develops a framework for the Industry concept 4.0. In this work, the construction of manipulator - Robot arm has been made which acts as the part of Industry 4.0. This dissertation helps to stimulate the needs of achievements within the concept of Industry 4.0. The results of this dissertation conclude the theme that this is only the beginning of the construction of the platform to present the future Internet of Things in the Industrial environment through the concept of Industry 4.0. The future development of the thesis can be prolonged in a way with considering automation as a factor of development in the industry for the achievement of the products with less cost and higher quality without loss of time and production losses.
