Portfolio Project

• Development of Selective Compliance Articulated Robot Arm (SCARA) Manipulator

• Oct 2019 - Dec 2019

During this project, we have designed one of the most commonly employed Industrial Robotic Manipulators, the SCARA manipulator, by considering the set of operations that has to be achieved. The primary objectives of the project were “Writing a given expression on the paper” & “Following a defined Maze path without touching the walls”. By considering these aspects, initially, we have designed the Robotic Manipulator from the system components level. The designed system components were manufactured by using one of the commercial 3D printers. In this way, the SCARA manipulator has been constructed. On further, to carry out the desired operations, appropriate algorithms were developed for trajectory generation. i.e. by utilising “Look-ahead algorithm”, “Splines method”, & “Lines & Parabolic method”. Servo Motors were employed for controlling the motion, which is controlled by using the Arduino interface.
