ABSTRACT
In the forthcoming Industrial Revolution 5.0 and the present Industrial Revolution 4.0, robotic arms play an integral role in automating the manufacturing industry; hence, it is critical that these robotic arms have the most robust features. Hence, arms with features like weight-based object segregation using high precision load cells can be game changing in industries with injection moulding where inline weight measurement of materials can save a lot of time and resources. Hence, in this paper we proposed an android app-controlled Bluetooth enabled robotic arm with a high precision weight monitoring sensor module, which depicts the weight of the object it picks and displays it on the serial monitor as it picks. The arm takes the input from a graphical user interface developed on the mobile. The Android app provides user interface for controlling and configuring this robot arm as well as executing commands such as picking, grasping, homogeneous grasping, etc. The robotic arm has five degrees of freedom, which means that it has the capability to move at five different joints which get their ability to move from six servo motors. The robotic arm can easily pick and place small to medium sized objects using the two-finger gripper and simultaneously weigh the picked object.
