Abstract

This research deals with the construction and designing of a sustainable robotic arm with five degrees of freedom and memory. The entire setup was simulated using the Arduino UNO microcontroller and Arduino IDE software. The arm designed can perform basic useful functions including but not limited to, picking up and placing objects in desired locations. The arm has great flexibility and is highly adjustable owing to the five degrees of freedom it possesses. This investigation deals with the designing and implementation process of a fully functioning robotic arm. The robotic arm is created to move around with five degrees of freedom across a plane in order to increase the range of activities it can perform. The movements of the arm can be recorded and replayed making it useful to carry out redundant functions present in the daily routine of man. The arm is made up of environment friendly materials so as to attain sustainability and not further lead to environmental degradation. The robotic arm and its features are explained in detail along with the pertinent need for sustainability. The construction and circuitry involving the internal and external connections concerned are discussed along with the program code executed on Arduino.
