Model & Implementation Of Robotic Arm Using Joystick(Mems)

Abstract

Robotic arms play a significant role in automation and remote manipulation tasks in industries, laboratories, and hazardous environments. This project presents the model and implementation of a robotic arm controlled using a joystick based on MEMS (Micro-ElectroMechanical Systems) technology. The system is designed to provide intuitive and real-time control of a multi-axis robotic arm by translating the tilt and motion of a MEMS sensor into corresponding movements of servo motors. In this system, a MEMS accelerometer sensor mounted on a joystick detects the orientation and tilt of the controller. These signals are processed using a microcontroller, which converts the sensor data into control commands for the robotic arm. The robotic arm consists of multiple servo motors that enable movements such as gripping, lifting, rotating, and placing objects. The joystick movements allow the user to control each axis of the robotic arm with high precision and minimal effort. The proposed system offers advantages such as low cost, ease of control, flexibility, and improved accuracy compared to conventional wired control systems. It can be effectively used in applications like industrial automation, pick-and-place operations, medical assistance, space exploration, and handling hazardous materials. The implementation demonstrates that MEMS-based joystick control provides a simple yet efficient interface for robotic manipulation, making the system suitable for both educational and practical robotic applications.
