ABSTRACT
A robot arm is an Electro-mechanical device that performs various tasks ranging from simple
mechanical jobs to highly complex tasks. It can be used to pick and place small parts on a
production line. In a typical application, it can replace the human operator in feeding industrial
process with discrete components. Robotic arms are used in diverse manufacturing processes
including assembly, spot welding, laser processing, cutting, grinding, polishing, testing, painting
and dispensing. Robots have proved to help automakers to be more agile, flexible and to reduce
production lead times. The robot arm using in this paper was designed with DC motors. DC
motors are driven by the driver circuit and controlled by the control circuit. The controller using
in this paper was based on ARM processor. The software part was developed by using embedded
C. Each DC motor was controlled by generating PWM (Pulse Width Modulation) through the
controller. The robot arm was designed with five degrees of freedom. The controller using in the
design is LPC2366 and IDE using is Keil.
