Task 2.1:Problem definition
Design a pick and place gesture controlled robotic arm which should pick and dispense objects.The bot should be agile(fast and quick responsive),stable(not topple) and should be able to work continuously for 3 hours. The robot should be operable on flat surfaces and cost should not exceed Rs.5000.Construction and testing should be completed with in 3 months.The bot should hold the objects firmly and can lift the object with the dimensions of the range (3 * 3 * 3)cm3 to (5 * 5 * 5)cm3.It can move in different directions as indicated by gestures. It should be able to pick and place 1 object/min.
Task 2.2:List the inputs,outputs of the system and represent black box model.
| Inputs | outputs |
|---|---|
| 1)Electricity | 1)Movement and vibration of parts |
| 2)Gesture | 2)Pick and Place |
Task 2.3 List the functions of system.
Functions :
- The Bot pick and place the 1 object/min.
- The Bot should move in different directions.
- The Bot should be in sync with the user by responding to his actions.
Glass Box Representation
Task 2.4: Complete the morphological chart by exploring the other alternative means of achieving the functions.
