Abstract
The Hybrid Pick and Drop Robotic Arm project presents a versatile robotic arm system capable of both manual and automatic operation. The robotic arm is designed with the flexibility to be controlled either by a user through manual inputs or autonomously through programmed commands. This hybrid functionality allows the robotic arm to adapt to various scenarios and tasks, offering a blend of precision and user control. The project utilizes a combination of sensors, including an infrared (IR) proximity sensor and an IR receiver, to enable efficient object detection and remote-control capabilities. The Atmega382p microcontroller serves as the central processing unit, coordinating the actions of the robotic arm based on sensor inputs and user commands. The inclusion of a DC-DC buck converter ensures efficient power management for the system, optimizing its performance in both manual and automatic modes. Through this project, the concept of a hybrid robotic arm is demonstrated, showcasing its potential applications in industries requiring a mix of manual dexterity and automated precision. The project’s design and implementation offer insights into the development of adaptable robotic systems, highlighting the importance of flexibility and user-friendliness in robotics technology. Keywords: Hybrid, Robotic Arm, Manual Control, Automatic Control, Object Detection, Remote Control.
