The word robot comes from the word robot in the Czechoslovakian language, which means slave-like work or forced work. Today, robots are primarily used in industry. Typically, robots are used to perform tasks that are dull, dirty, and/or dangerous. Robots increase production capability; improve product quality, and lower production costs. It is likely that very soon there will be almost totally ‘human-free’ factories. Perhaps just one or two people will program or monitor the computers and carry out routine maintenance to robots and other machines. The robots used in industry usually consist of a mechanical arm controlled by a computer. The arm is jointed in one or more places and there is a "hand" at the end of the arm. The 'hand" is called an end effector. Each end effector is designed specifically for a particular job. Among the simplest jobs is "pick and place" where a robot may take something from one place and move it to another. Robots can do many different kinds of tasks but they still need humans to control them and give instructions. A robot is not intelligent by itself and can perform only those tasks for which it is given a set of instructions or program. Computers act as the robot's brain. OBJECTIVES It’s mainly consist of cylinder, piston and arm. The fluid used in this process are water. The arm is used to pickup the object. The piston link to connected to arm. It is used to fabricated pickup one place to another.

Bolt FABRICATION Sheet metal rods of cross-section are selected. They are cut into required length as per the given diagram. They are welded by using arc welding to form the bottom and top metal frames. The two cross-links are also made by welding these rods by using arc welding. Then the metal plates are cut into required size In GI metal piece, 6 holes made by using drill bit. The arms are connected by bolts and nuts. The syringes are connected by nylon tubes. The arms and syringes are connected by using threads. Finally the project was painted. WORKING PRINCIPLE The power for a robotic arm can either be electric, hydraulic, or pneumatic. Hydraulics is putting liquids under pressure Pneumatics is putting gases under pressure. The power supply acts like the robot's heart and muscles. It provides the energy for pushing, pulling, turning and lifting. WORKING DIAGRAM COST ESTIMATION S.NO NAME OF THE COMPONENT 01. Syringes 02. Nylon tube 03.

Total 31 685 1250 ADVANTAGES&DISADVANTAGES ADVANTAGES: 1.Used to pick & place the object. 2.used in automobile company. 3.used in JCB’S arm. DISADVANTAGES; 1.Fluid rate is high. 2.Hydraulic cylinder cost is high. 3.Need to maintanance. FUTURE SCOPE If move time and move efforts would have been put in to the model more complexities have been brought more over instead of manual operation of syringes could have been replaced by pre-defined computer program or merely by this processing the switch operated further more variety and more flexibility to add or replaced any part according to requirements can be done to improve it’s use and increase field of usage and to make universal (or) flexible APPLICATIONS These arms are used in assembly lines of mega factories to assembles various parts of a product and also to paint a vehicles. They are also used in earth movers to pick up heavy weight and keep them where required. Same principle is being used in JCB’s, automobile lifters, etc,. CONCLUSION The prepared mechanism has been successfully constrained and executed to carry out required work of picking up the weight of objects and place them in required place.
