Project Information

Project Title: Multipurpose Robotic Platform Controlled and Analysed using LABVIEW

Hardware & Software Used: LABVIEW-2012 Evaluation, Arduino IDE

What challenge/problem are you trying to solve through your application: We are trying to bring a Real time robotic arm which is attached to a  mobile robot which is capable of producing Real Time Reports. We are trying to assemble all things on a single Robotic Platform.

How does your application solves the above mentioned challenge/problem: We designed a GUI using LABVIEW , in this GUI  we control all the servo motors  for the robotic arm . We can send our robot to any space which is controlled by arduino d.c. motor Sheild. Our robot gives real Time reports while moving anywhere and by adding any end effector it can perform operations like Gripping, Spraying and Welding.

Description of Project:

We have designed a multipurpose robotic platform in which by adding any END EFFECTOR we can perform any task like spraying, painting, welding, Gripping etc.

It is a Multipurpose robot which is controlled and analysed using LABVIEW 2012. We have designed Graphical User Interface on LABVIEW for the analysis of this robot. The robot has 4DOF[ degree of freedom] robotic arm,

1 DOF is a rotational base which can be rotated at 360°,

2 DOF is a robotic arm which moves in X-plane, maximum rotation-180° .

3 DOF is 2 joint of robotic arm moves in Y-plane, maximum rotation-65°.

4 DOF is a End Effector, maximum servo rotation-10°.

We leave space for various end effectors which can be joint to this servo

we programmed our robot using LABVIEW Graphical programming

We used Arduino Uno as a Controller . All connections are made to arduino. For controlling d.c. motor we used Adafruit Motor Sheild for controlling the d.c. motor with LABVIEW.

The robot has capability to move in space. It has a moving platform which is controlled from the GUI designed in LABVIEW. Our LABVIEW GUI control the robotic arm at any angle we desire. Also we analyse values of angle , speed, and waveforms through our GUI. Using LABVIEW tools we can form reports in word, excel of the data we get during operation in the real time. It works on the real time operation.

Also we can add camera in it for the surveillance operations.

In our GUI we can also measure the calculations and operations of robot in Real Time.

Our GUI INCLUDES-

4Knob for setting angle of Robotic Arm.

4 Waveform Charts for analysing each servo individually and exporting real time reports to Excel and Word

2 slides to control Speed of Right-Left D.C.motor of the base and

1 meter to analyse voltage of D.C. motors.
