DESIGN OF REMOTE CONTROL SYSTEM ROBOT ARM WITH IOT TECHNOLOGY

Abstract

A robot arm that is programmed to perform various tasks by moving its end joint from one place to another, such as lifting, placing, removing, or welding a part or an entire workpiece, depending on the technical specifications and needs of the manufacturer with high precision and efficiency. The robot arm is also used to replace human operations in dangerous and risky jobs to ensure safety. In this article, we propose a design for a 4-degree-of-freedom robot arm control system. The robot arm system is remotely controlled by holding, releasing, and moving the robot arm up and down, along with some other operations. The design includes an embedded system with an Internet of Things-based approach and an application software designed on a website with 4 corresponding control panels for controlling 4 servo motors with oscillation amplitudes ranging from 0 to 180 degrees in both clockwise and counterclockwise directions. Many experiments have been conducted based on various designed scenarios that have demonstrated the feasibility and stability of the wireless control system using software installed on mobile devices such as phones, tablets or computers like laptops or desktops.
