This document describes a servo motor controlled robotic claw. It explains that servomotors allow for precise control of position, velocity, and acceleration through a closed-loop control system. Servomotors are used in robotics and automated manufacturing. The robotic arm uses servomotors at each joint to replicate the movement of a human arm, and it can be controlled through a computer interface to perform tasks like gripping and rotating parts. Arduino and pulse width modulation are used to control the servomotors. Examples of applications include robotic arms in automotive assembly lines and medical robotic arms for surgeries.
A BRIEF INTRODUCTION: •A servomotor is a rotary actuator that allows for precise control of angular position, velocity and acceleration. It consists of a suitable motor coupled to a sensor for position feedback. It also requires a relatively sophisticated controller, often a dedicated module designed specifically for use with servomotors. • Servomotors are not a specific class of motor although the term servomotor is often used to refer to a motor suitable for use in a closed-loop control system. • Servomotors are used in applications such as robotics, CNC machinery or automated manufacturing.
Robotic arm Description: 1.A roboticarm is a robotic manipulator, usually programmable, with similar functions to a human arm . 2.Servo motor is used for joint rotation, it has about same number of degree of freedom as in human arm. 3. Humans pick things up without thinking about the steps involved. In order for a robot or a robotic arm to pick up or move something, someone has to tell it to perform several actions in a particular order. 4. we can control each joint through computer interface to rotating the wrist to opening and closing the hand or fingers.
Application of RoboticArm The robotic arm can be designed to perform any desired task such as welding, gripping, spinning etc., depending on the application. For example robot arms in automotive assembly line perform a variety of tasks such as wielding and parts rotation and placement during assembly.
