Analysis and Programming of the Robotic Arm Using the Microcontroller

Abstract

Due to the widespread use of stepper motors, almost any industrial process that requires precision in movement is almost devoid of stepper motors, which made us focus on this type of motor in some detail. In this paper, the focus will be on the use of stepper motors in the robotic arm due to their importance in advanced industrial processes, three motors will be used, each perpendicular to the other, this is the simplest type of robotic arm, when the number of motors is three or more, we are now considered to be in the robotic arm stage. This study includes analysis and programming. As for the analysis process, it is determining the type of movement required of the arm to perform. When the number of motors is three or more, we consider the movement in space, the MATLAB program will be used in the calculation process. As for programming, the microcontroller will be used to write the programming code to control the robotic arm to obtain the movement required for the robotic arm to perform.
