Raspberry-Pi-based Pick and Place Robotic Arm for the Chemical Industry

Project Code :TEMBMA3835

Objective

The objective of this project is to develop a Raspberry-Pi-based robotic arm to safely handle hazardous chemicals in the chemical industry. The system automates container transfer with 360-degree movement, controlled via Python, and integrates IoT for real-time monitoring and remote access, ensuring efficiency and safety.

Abstract

The Raspberry-Pi-Based Pick and Place Robotic Arm for the Chemical Industry is an intelligent automation system designed to improve material handling and sorting processes in industrial environments. The system utilizes a Raspberry Pi as the main controller and a USB camera for real-time object detection and classification. An Arduino is used to control the robotic arm movements through DC motors and motor drivers. Based on the detected object type, the robotic arm automatically picks and places chemical-related items into their respective designated segments. A Bluetooth module enables wireless monitoring and control of the system. The integration of image processing and automation reduces human intervention in handling industrial materials, improves operational efficiency, and minimizes the risk associated with manual sorting. The proposed system provides a cost-effective and reliable solution for chemical industries requiring automated segregation and material management.
