Robotic Arm Seminar Presentation - Computer Engineering
Introduction A robotic arm is a mechanical arm similar to a human arm. It is programmed to perform tasks like lifting, holding, and moving objects.
Components Base – provides support Joints & Links – allow movement End Effector – tool at the end (gripper, welder, etc.) Sensors – for feedback (position, pressure) Controller – brain of the arm (microcontroller, computer)
Working Principle Works on motors, hydraulics, or pneumatics Controlled using programming (C, Python, Embedded systems) Sensors provide real-time feedback for accuracy
Applications Manufacturing (welding, assembling) Medical field (surgery, prosthetic arms) Space exploration (satellites, ISS) Military & defense (bomb disposal) Household robots (cleaning, assisting disabled people)
Advantages Increases efficiency and accuracy Can work in dangerous environments Reduces human effort in repetitive tasks
Limitations High cost of design and maintenance Requires skilled programming and operation Limited flexibility compared to humans
Future Scope AI-powered robotic arms Human-robot collaboration (cobots) Low-cost robotic prosthetics for disabled people
Conclusion Robotic arms are a crucial step towards automation. They bridge technology with real-world applications in industries and daily life.
