AIM

Pybullet Simulation of a Robotic arm mounted on Ground Robot for Warehouse Automation Task.


COMPONENTS AND TECHNOLOGIES USED

  • Python

  • Pybullet


OVERVIEW

The robotic arm is used for multiple industrial applications, from welding, material handling, and thermal spraying, to painting and drilling and obviously picking some items and placing them somewhere else. In this project we have tried to mount the robotic arm(6DOF kuka arm) on a wheeled bot(husky mobile bot) so that the arm can pick some object from one point and place it in another. The project is built in Pybullet Simulation environment with the hope of implementing the same on hardware.

 

Main Technologies used in the Project:

  1. Simulation in Pybullet
  2. Used real robots KUKA 6DOF robotic arm and HUSKY mobile robot in simulation.
  3. Self written Inverse kinematics used for robotic arm.
  4. Image processing. 
  5. For navigation, used grass fire and Astar algorithm.
  6. PID controlled motion.

 

Practical Applications and Uses:

Application:

  1. Health Care

Such robots can be used to perform surgical operations on patients with the arm being controlled by the surgeon. 

In such times of pandemic where infection spreads by contact such robots can be effective to deliver medicines to the patients’ beds who are admitted in the hospital.

  1. Agriculture

These kinds of robots can be used in harvesting the agricultural yield.

  1. WareHouse

These robots can be used to automate the process of packing and loading the goods in warehouses.

  1. Security Services

These robots can be extremely beneficial in emergency situations. They can be used during a bomb threat to locate and defuse the explosive without risking human life.
