Introduction
Object Sorting robot lets us learn various aspects of robotic. In the simplest application it will perform the sorting of Black and White objects over conveyor. If you place Black object on the Stage it will pick the object and place it left side and if you place white object , it pick the object and place it right side.

Materials and methodology

Microcontroller Photo resistor Sensors Robotic arm DC motor Max 232 Conveyor belt

Working

230 Volts AC Power Supply 12-0-12 Step down Transformer Rectifier and Filter Circuit Conveyor belt Controller Circuit Sensing circuit Robotic Arm

Conclusion
Industrial robots can easily automate picking a part up and placing it into a new location & saved factories money. Object sorting robots not only speed up the process, which increases production rates, but they are also more accurate and do not fatigue. Object sorting robots can be reprogrammable and tooling can be interchanged to provide for multiple applications. With the advancements in technology and affordability of robots, more object sorting robotic cells are being installed for automation applications.

Preparing the PCB layout

Figure 1. Object Sorting Robot

Prepare controller circuit & sensor circuit

The color object on the conveyor moves towards sensing unit The color of the object is identified The microcontroller receives the signal from sensing unit. The Robotic arm receives the signal The gripper closes and picks the object and robotic moves to dropping point

Assemble all the circuit on PCB with robotic arm

Motivation
Be Object sorting robot inspired by the collective behavior of the social insects. Distributed, self-organized, and scalable as there is no centralized control or global communication. This system is appealing due to its scalability, flexibility, and robustness. Inspired by the brood sorting behavior .

Implemented Work
Brain storming - Settle on the choice of project in the 'brain storming' part. Hardware designing - The hardware design includes all the aspects of the electronic connections between other devices, like the compatibility of the voltage levels, or the required number of pins, etc... Programming & debugging - Passing to the programming & debugging phase, because programming is much more flexible than the hardware design.

Verifying the working with the colored objects moving on the conveyor belt

Check for next object No

The robotic arm moves to its ground

Color identified? Yes Robotic arm will grip the object & moves it to dropping point
