The project is all about to design and implement a
small model of pick and place robot, which is
organized by Microcontroller ATmega16. The pick and
place robot is a microcontroller based mechatronic
system that take and leave object anywhere within a
certain degree and diameter around it with the help of
servo motors.
The reason for choosing the project is, the most
extensively form of machine is used in most of the
industries like food placing in packet, car
manufacturing etc. Microcontroller are widely used in
embedded system products. Embedded processor
provides the fast switching from one program to
another as well as the ways to solve the problem
associated with shared data by using RISC core.
 To design a robot to pick object and place it in the
desire place.
 To programme robotic arm to move toward the
object, picks it with end effectors, and moves
along way gantry and finally place it on
destination. If another object causes interrupt, it
again does the same job.
 To implement a versatile (in simulation first) and
low cost robotic arm.
 To regulate by AVR (Atmega16 microcontroller),
which has a simple control mechanism with a lot
of challenging assignment.
 To implement a small model of the robot, of which
the rotation ensues for RC Servo Motors.
 Can be switch to different rotation by changing
the program.
The above all of the desired mission were attained from the robot’s implementation. So the
implementation of the following project is the success one.
The following project is implemented with different parts.
They are:
 Mechanical Equipment
 Electrical Equipment
 Burner Procedure of ATMEL (AVR Programmer)
 Coding Part with Simulation (in Software)
The implementation of the robot was a long progression with mechanical aim work with exact
electrical sign which is organized with a third fixation called controller domination by the rules named
C Languages. Before implementation, a controller rule was established in fundamental simulation,
then the mechanical aim, then electrical signs, then added them up. The expected movement of
mechanical aim was found.
By the end of the task, it was successfully implemented
three axes pick and place robot, which is with steady
repeatability and precise implementation - all of which
allows them to be extremely precise. This high precision
capability has made them a good match for pick and leave
appliance, provides high level of movement elasticity.
Because they are deliberate with compact bases. Pick and
Place robots are ideal if looking to save floor space. They
are labor-intensive and tedious, moving it from one place
to another is very demanding work. Pick and place robots
are unaffected by the stress of the application. They are
able to work without taking break or making fault.
The robot was a successful one. The movement of the
robot is done using three servo motors to the three
joints. These servos were controlled using AVR
microcontroller ATmega16.
Future advancement can be done by replacing the
paper by plywood or by metal so that it can pick
heavier belongings. Another area of improvement is
design of a efficient gripper which can grip object of
any shape and various sizes. Introducing a feedback
control system gives accurate result so that the arm
can pick from a precise place and can keep it to the
right place where it should be.
