Design and Development of Low-Cost Cartesian Coordinate-Based Robotic Dispensing System for Biomedical Applications

Abstract

The project deals with the research, design, and fabrication of a dual armed Cartesian robot that fulfills repetitive microbiological techniques in the laboratory. The report deals with the various nucleic extraction techniques. The paper delves into the design considerations while designing the robot. Analysis was done of the best possible mechanical solution for the requirements. A FEA analysis is done on possible stress concentration areas as well most likely components of failure. The steps taken to fabricate the body is also discussed and shown in detail the problems faced by the group, their solutions and the overall result of the project is shown. The algorithm used to make the cartesian movements possible along with the code that makes it function has been included. We have also made use of a 3d printing firmware and adapted it to our work flow which will be discussed and tested below
