Abstract
• The vehicle uses a rocker-bogie suspension system for stable
navigation over rough terrains, inspired by planetary rovers.
Controlled wirelessly via Bluetooth using an Arduino
microcontroller to process input and control movement.
Equipped with a servo motor-powered gripper for precise object
manipulation in outdoor environments. Built with a strong yet
lightweight frame for easy movement in rugged terrains;
programmed using Arduino IDE or embedded C. Suitable for
search and rescue, remote material handling, and exploration
simulations, with potential for AI-based upgrades.
Introduction
• Trekking vehicles are built for rough terrains, using advanced
suspension systems like the rocker-bogie mechanism—popularized
by NASA's Mars rov ers—for stability, obstacle handling, and
adaptability.
• These robots automate the task of picking up and placing objects
using grippers and servo motors, commonly integrated with Arduino-
based control systems for precise and remote operations in fields
like rescue, agriculture, and space exploration.
• Pick and place robots are vital in industries like electronics, food,
and pharmaceuticals, offering benefits like high-speed operation,
improved accuracy, and reduced labor costs while maintaining
consistent product quality.
• These robots increase productivity, quality, and safety, but
challenges include high initial investment, complex integration,
limited adaptability for irregular objects, and potential job
displacement.
• Pick and place robots are used in manufacturing, logistics, medical
devices, electronics assembly, inspection, packaging, and material
handling—thanks to their precision, reliability, and adaptability.
Literature review

• Various studies detail robotic arms with different DOFs and materials
(cardboard, plywood, metal), designed for tasks like welding, object
sorting, and manipulation.
• Control methods include Arduino, PLCs, and Cortex microcontrollers,
using sensors (gyro, flex, ultrasonic, RGB-D) for motion tracking and
object detection.
• Integration of AI, machine learning, soft computing, and image-
based algorithms enhances autonomous control, object recognition,
and path planning.
• Applications range from industrial automation to education, featuring
intuitive interfaces like gesture control, GUIs, and joystick-based
systems.
Components for Pick and place robot

• Arduino board (e.g., Arduino Uno)


• MG 90 metal gear Servo motors (3x)
• L298N motor driver
• HC-05 Bluetooth module
• Laser cut Chassis and Robotic arm mechanical components
• 12V Li-ion battery
• LM2596 DC-DC Buck Converter
• Switch
• Jumper wires
• 1 Breadboard or PCB (Printed Circuit Board)
• Screws, nuts, spacers
Assembly of Robotic Arm
• Acrylic Sheet: Utilize an acrylic sheet cut with a laser to create the
Robotic Arm, with precise cuts to accommodate all necessary fittings
and components.
• 2. Servo Motor Adjustment: Before assembly, adjust the angle of the
servo motors. Improper adjustment can lead to malfunctioning of the
robotic arm.
• 3. Servo Motor Attachment: Attach the Servo Arm to the servo by
aligning and securing it in place.
• 4. Calibration: Calibrate the servo motors using the provided code
(#1) and circuit diagram. Connect the servo motors to Arduino pins 5,
6, and 3 and upload the code for calibration.
• 5. Angle Values for Robotic Arm Movements: Adjust the servo angles
according to the following table:
• 6. Assembly Stages: Proceed with the assembly stages after servo
adjustments are complete.
Pick and place robot
• Assistance robots are increasingly used in hazardous
tasks across industries, military, and healthcare to
improve safety and efficiency.
• A robotic arm mimics a human hand, using
interconnected joints and links to perform precise,
programmed tasks through an end effector.
• Cartesian robots operate on linear axes for precise
operations, while cylindrical robots combine rotation and
linear movement for industrial tasks.
• These offer flexibility with rotary joints—used in welding,
painting, assembly, and material handling applications.
• Parallel robots support complex motion (e.g., simulators),
while anthropomorphic types offer human-like dexterity
for delicate operations.
Operation and materials
• Trekking vehicles are designed to navigate rough terrains
like rocky paths, mud, and steep slopes with ease.
• Equipped with advanced suspension to absorb shocks and
maintain stability during off-road travel.
• Operated using electric motors or internal combustion
engines, providing necessary torque for climbing and
hauling.
• Controlled manually or remotely, with steering, throttle, and
braking systems adapted for rough environments.
• Built with lightweight yet durable materials like aluminum,
high-strength steel, and reinforced composites for strength
and mobility.
Operation and materials
Advantages
• Easily navigates rugged and uneven terrains where
regular vehicles cannot go.
• Offers better control and balance on off-road paths,
reducing the risk of accidents.
• Can transport gear, supplies, or people in remote areas
with minimal effort.
• Built to withstand harsh conditions, ensuring long-term
performance in extreme environments.
Conclusion

• The rocker-bogie system provides stability and smooth


traversal over rough terrains.
• Arduino, Bluetooth, and servo motors enable precise
navigation and object handling.
• Ideal for rescue, exploration, and industrial use due to its
adaptability.
• AI, IoT, and solar integration can boost autonomy,
efficiency, and sustainability.
• Lays groundwork for intelligent trekking vehicles in
extreme real-world scenarios.
