Automated Pick-and-Place Robotic Arm

The Automated Pick and Place Robotic Arm was successfully designed and implemented using Arduino Uno, six servo motors, two IR sensors, and an XL6009 power module. The system is capable of automatically detecting, picking, and placing objects with minimal human intervention. The coordinated operation of the sensors, controller, and servo motors ensures accurate and reliable object handling. The project demonstrates the practical application of robotics and automation in material handling systems. It reduces manual effort, improves productivity, minimizes human errors, and provides a cost-effective automation solution. The developed system can be effectively used in industries, warehouses, packaging units, and educational robotics applications. Overall, the project successfully achieved its objectives and provides a strong foundation for future enhancements such as computer vision, IoT connectivity, and AI-based automation
