Introduction & Motivation


In this PS, you will dive into the world of robotics and
simulation, with the goal of developing a fully functional
control system for robotic arm in CoppeliaSim. The
challenge involves not only simulating these robots but also
controlling their movements and interactions with the
environment through external tools. You will also create a
user interface that allows others to interact with and control
the robot at different levels of abstraction.

Problem Statement
1. Robot Simulation
In this section, you are required to choose a robotic arm
from the prebuilt robots available in CoppeliaSim.
Alternatively, you may design your own custom robotic
arm from scratch. The following functionalities are
required:
a. Joint Control:
I. You must be able to control the robot’s joint
angles with a precision of at least 10% of its
total range of motion.
II. For joints with discrete states (e.g [open/close],
[high/low]), there are no precision
requirements.
b. End-Effector Control:
I. You should be able to control the position of
the end effector with a precision of 1cm.
Manipulating the end effector to move in
predefined paths will fetch additional points.

c. Interaction with the Environment:


Your robot should interact meaningfully with the
environment:
I. Manipulate the orientation and position of
regular objects such as cuboids, spheres,
cylinders, and irregularly shaped objects (e.g.,
cups, saucers, pots, and bowls). You can create
and import your own objects in simulation.
There is no restriction on the dimensions of the
objects, but it should be somewhat to scale
II. Stacking of both regular and irregular objects.
Stacking irregular objects will fetch higher
points.

2. Developing the User Interface


In this section, you will create a user interface at
multiple levels of abstraction, each of which should be
demonstrated separately. You are free to choose your
preferred programming language to implement these
interfaces.
a. Terminal-based Control:
I. The robot’s control commands should be sent
via an external script, allowing the user to
interact with the robot through a terminal
interface.
II. Your system should handle illegal or out-of-
bound commands gracefully, providing
informative error messages to guide the user.

b. Graphical User Interface (GUI):


i. Build a graphical user interface to control the
robot. This could be a native desktop
application or a web-based interface.
ii. If you choose a web interface, we recommend
using React for building the UI.
iii. The GUI should support all robot control
features, including movement and interaction
with the environment. Additionally, ensure that
the system can handle illegal inputs
appropriately and alert the user to any
mistakes.
iv. Also note that the GUI should run on a different
laptop/computer.
c. Voice-Controlled Interface:
i. Implement a voice-controlled interface,
allowing the user to control the robot using
spoken commands.
ii. The system should not only accept voice
commands but also provide voice feedback to
the user, confirming actions or reporting errors.
iii. You are encouraged to use open source LLMs
for this section.
iv. Ensure that illegal or out-of-bound voice
commands are handled correctly and provide
clear auditory feedback to guide the user.
v. The voice interface should run on a different
laptop/computer.
