Abstract:
We aim to design, manufacture, and perform a comprehensive path planning analysis
of a 4 DoF (Degree of Freedom) Collaborative SCARA (Selectively Compliant
Articulated Robotic Arm). The versatile nature of the robotic arm, with its
interchangeable end-effector, enables it to perform a wide range of tasks. Our main aim
is medical lab automation, with further small-scale industrial applications like
palletizing, drilling, and soldering aimed as future work. This project embodies the
integration of various engineering disciplines to create a programmable robotic arm that
can operate alongside humans, facilitating increased productivity and safety in diverse
working environments and furthermore, embarks the prototyping phase of this endeavor
of providing affordable automation in Pakistan.
