Introduction

1.1 Introduction

The field of robotics has seen significant advancements over the past 50 years, with robots
capable of executing tasks with speed, precision, and minimal human intervention. Robotic arms,
in particular, have revolutionized production by providing superior accuracy and strength
compared to humans. Robotics are increasingly employed in industries to reduce risks to human
workers and undertake repetitive or hazardous tasks. Robotics can be categorized into industrial
and service robotics, with service robots operating autonomously to perform various tasks
beneficial to humans and equipment. These robots find applications in diverse fields such as
offices, military operations, hospitals, hazardous environments, and agriculture. They excel in
tasks that are difficult, dangerous, or monotonous for humans, such as handling explosive
chemicals, defusing bombs, or performing repetitive actions in manufacturing. Thus, robots are
increasingly replacing humans in various work roles.
1.2 Background

When discussing Service Automation, it's essential to trace its origins and the evolution of
automation itself. Automation isn't a recent concept; it has deep historical roots, stretching
back centuries to when humans devised basic tools like pulleys to simplify tasks.
"Automation" refers to the utilization of various control systems for operating machinery,
factory processes, vehicle steering, aircraft, ships, and more. Over time, automation
technology has advanced significantly, giving rise to various other technologies such as
service automation and artificial intelligence. "Advanced robotics," a specialized subset of
automation, involves automated machines equipped with artificial intelligence to enhance
workforce capabilities and task functions. Automation has become indispensable across
industries, providing benefits in nearly every sector.

Literature review

Nowadays, robots are increasingly being integrated into working tasks to replace humans
specially to perform the repetitive task. In general, robotics can be divided into two areas,
industrial and service robotics. International Federation of Robotics (IFR) defines a service
robot as a robot which operates semi- or fully autonomously to perform services useful to the
well-being of humans and equipment, excluding manufacturing operations.

Matt Blackmore et al.[1] have done this project on Robot Manipulator , it is one of the
most widely used robot types by industrial society. A robotic manipulator that mimics the
characteristics of a human arm is also called an articulated arm. However, the articulated
motion of a robotic arm is different from that of a human arm. While robot joints have less
degrees of freedom (DOF), the robot manipulator can move freely even from a certain angle
with more freedom. For example, the elbow of an articulated robot can bend up or down
whereas a person can only bend their elbow in one direction the rest only in a straight arm
position. The manipulators are grouped into classes according to the joint combination
used in the construction of the robot manipulator.

[2]
Ali et al. has performed master-slave system with haptic features, especially force
feedback, was implemented. This system has a device to measure force, as the slave system
interacts with virtual model and actuators devices in the master system to exert force on
the operator. A position and force control system was developed, creating a bilateral
communication between the master and the slave devices. A robotic arm, inverse kinematic
model and control was developed using LabVIEW and Arduino. LabVIEW was used
to acquire position and force signal from Novint Falcon then send it to robotic arm.
Arduino was used to calculate the inverse kinematics model to evaluate the joint angles
of the robot arm. The correct position of the end effector with respect to the base was
achieved using the joint angles. The performance of the system is characterized using
human input for soft tissues of different stiffness and the results show that system has the
ability to display the interaction force effectively.

[3]
Chayan et al. has proposed robotic technology making the spot-welding operation more
flexible and time oriented. With the help of pick and place mechanism the material handling
has been easily carried out. The variation in the mechanical structure and the angle of
movement can be changeable. The human hand design forms the basis of this project of
developing a robotic gripper and is the source of inspiration to achieve the sufficient level
of dexterity in the domain of grasping and manipulation if coupled with wrist and arm..

Ritu Tiwari et al.[4] has discussed robotic arm and there different parameters, such as
multiple axis uses to change the mass of an arm, DOF increased by simply by adding joints,
working envelope and space should decide according to the situation, kinematics improved
movement of the robot, speed and acceleration vary in different works, accuracy and
repeatability is the important factor for any robotic arm. Also, used diagrams for making
proper understanding of robotic arm.

Hamid Ameh et al.[5] have discussed haptic technology to recognize the human motion. The
concept implemented on 3-DOF based robot arm using a smaller number of resources. The
main focus of the implementation was about making user friendly robotic arm for disable
person. It also features obstacle detection and image processing.

Johnson.A et al.[6] delves into the latest advancements in five-axis robotic arms specifically
designed for pick and place functions within industrial settings. It thoroughly examines the
evolution of kinematic designs, highlighting innovations that enhance precision, speed, and
5
flexibility in handling various objects. Additionally, the review explores recent developments
in end-effector technologies, such as grippers and suction cups, aimed at improving grasping
and manipulation capabilities. Moreover, it discussed advancements in control systems,
including motion planning algorithms and trajectory optimization techniques, to streamline
pick and place operations. The integration of vision systems for object recognition and
localization is also analyzed. Furthermore, the paper addressed ongoing challenges in
optimizing the performance and efficiency of five-axis robotic arms and outlines potential
future research directions to further enhance their capabilities.

Chen et al.[7] presented a comprehensive overview of the kinematics and dynamics of five-axis
robotic arms utilized in pick and place applications. It discussed various kinematic models,
motion planning algorithms, dynamic analyses, and control strategies.

Park et al.[8] investigated the integration of five-axis robotic arms with artificial intelligence
(AI) systems to achieve autonomous pick and place operations. It explored AI-based
approaches for object detection, grasp planning, motion control, and learning algorithms,
enabling the robotic system to adapt to dynamic environments and handle diverse objects with
varying shapes and sizes. Furthermore, the paper discussed the utilization of machine learning
techniques, including reinforcement learning and imitation learning, to improve the arm's
decision-making capabilities and enhance its efficiency over time through experience.

The above mentioned literature review show pick-and-place operations and human-robot
interaction, master-slave system with force feedback, enhancing interaction effectiveness,
improve spot-welding operations and robotic arm parameters emphasized factors like
kinematics, speed, and accuracy. Additionally, haptic technology was implemented to
recognize human motion, focusing on user-friendly interfaces. Next chapter cover
methodology, design considerations and calculations for 5- axis robotic arm.

workspace, including complex or confined spaces. Design joints and linkages to
maximize reachability while minimizing interference.
6. Safety: Implement safety features such as collision detection, emergency stop mecha-
nisms, and protective barriers to prevent accidents and ensure safe operation in dynamic
environments.
7. Control System: Choose suitable control algorithms and feedback mechanisms to
achieve precise motion control. Consider factors like real-time responsiveness, trajectory
planning, and integration with external systems.
8. End-Effector Compatibility: Design the robotic arm to accommodate various end-
effectors or tooling for different applications. Ensure easy mounting and
compatibility with industry-standard interfaces.
