Prototyping and control of a robotized educational plataform
| Resumo: | This paper describes the prototyping of an educational kit based on a robotic arm and a conveyor belt. Initially, it was necessary to choose the structure to be used in the arm, develop its construction and carry some tests in order to know its mechanical limits. In order to perform a study of the workspace for the chosen robotic arm, the 3D modeling program Solidwoks® was used. By using this software it is possible to design and carry out studies related to the arm, such as its workspace and mechanical limits. To move the arm, it are used servomotors, controlled by an Arduino. Thereafter, a structure for the conveyor belt has also been developed, so that the arm can work in conjunction with the conveyor. A DC motor is applied to move the conveyor and to detect the parts a distance measuring sensor is used. |
