Designing and constructing a handling robot station as a part of sorting system
This thesis project is intended to build a handling robot with an ability to sort the object by its color and weight. The sorting system can be divided into three sub- systems. The first is weighing system. The weighing system has an ability to sense the weight of the object in the gripper. The second sub-system is the color recognition. The color recognition has a function to detect the color of the object. The color recognition can distinguish only two different colors. The last sub-system is the mechanism of robotic arm. The mechanism should be able to pick and place the object. From these three sub system, the sorting system can be built. The handling robot can recognize 4 types of object with different color and weight. The handling robot has 2 degree of freedom. As the main actuator, the system uses DC motor to move the arm. The position of the robot will be known using optical encoders. In the mechanical aspect, the handling robot adapts the four bars linkage mechanism. As the result of combining these, a handling robot with an ability of sorting can be made.
