The document discusses the development of a wireless pick and place robot. It aims to remove limitations of non-wireless robots by developing a system where a pick and place robot with 5 degrees of movement controlled by servo motors and an Arduino/Raspberry Pi board can operate freely without wires at any location. The robot will be designed to be compact, usable, affordable and help automate regular tasks like picking and placing to save human effort. Components will be selected and the robot will be fabricated, assembled and programmed using Arduino and Python to be controlled by a computer.

2.  Robots are thought to be super machine but they have some
limitations like they are not wireless , due to that its not possible to
operate it at each location.
 So in this project the method to remove such limitation will be
developed.
 Pick & place robot that have five separate movement to grab or
release , lift or lower , rotate wrist & pivot sideway controlled by
servo motors . and all servo motors will be controlled by Arduino
board & Raspberry pi.

3.  Robotics research today is focused on developing systems that exhibit
modularity, flexibility, redundancy , a general and extensible software
environment and seamless connectivity to other machines.
 In this highly developing society time and man power are critical
constrains for completion of task in large scales. The automation is
playing important role to save human efforts in most of the regular and
frequently carried works.
 One of the major and most commonly performed works is picking and
placing of jobs from source to destination.
 The pick and place robot is a microcontroller based system that picks that
object from source location and places at desired location.

4.  Robotics is technology that deals with the design, construction and
operation of robots that are used in numerous applications is called
robotics. It has become an unstoppable force in the development of
modern machinery as they make life easier.
 It is an interesting topic to dwell in as it is the future of mankind.
Although we know them as recent inventions, the idea of automated
or controlled machines has fascinated humans.
 With this fascination it motivated me to work on this project, building
and programming a mobile robotic arm. It is my hunger to learn and
attain knowledge that drives me towards this field of study for my
project.

5. 1. A survey of robot learning from demonstration.
We present a comprehensive survey of robot Learning from Demonstration (LfD), a
technique that develops policies from example state to action mappings. We introduce the LfD
design choices in terms of demonstrator, problem space, policy derivation and performance, and
contribute the foundations for a structure in which to categorize LfD research. Specifically, we
analyze and categorize the multiple ways in which examples are gathered, ranging from
teleoperation to imitation, as well as the various techniques for policy derivation, including
matching functions, dynamics models and plans. To conclude we discuss LfD limitations and related
promising areas for future research.
2. Design of Pick and Place Robot Test Rig
The industry is moving from current state of automation to Robotization, to increase productivity
and to deliver uniform quality. The industrial robots of today may not look the least bit like a
human being although all the research is directed to provide more and more anthropomorphic and
humanlike features and super-human capabilities in these. One type of robot commonly used in
industry is a robotic manipulator or simply a robotic arm. It is an open or closed kinematic chain of
rigid links interconnected by movable joints. In some configurations, links can be considered to
correspond to human anatomy as waist, upper arm and forearm with joint at shoulder and elbow.
At end of arm a wrist joint connects an end effector which may be a tool and its fixture or a gripper
or any other device to work.

6. 3. Active Learning Literature Survey
The key idea behind active learning is that a machine learning algorithm
can achieve greater accuracy with fewer training labels if it is allowed to choose
the data from which it learns. An active learner may pose queries, usually in the
form of unlabeled data instances to be labeled by an oracle (e.g., a human
annotator). Active learning is well-motivated in many modern machine learning
problems, where unlabeled data may be abundant or easily obtained, but labels
are difficult, time-consuming, or expensive to obtain. This report provides a
general introduction to active learning and a survey of the literature. This includes
a discussion of the scenarios in which queries can be formulated, and an overview
of the query strategy frameworks proposed in the literature to date. An analysis of
the empirical and theoretical evidence for successful active learning, a summary of
problem setting variants and practical issues, and a discussion of related topics in
machine learning research are also presented.

7. Observing the current technology trend a need of pick & place robot that
is smart enough is essential. The main objective of the system will be :
 To develop a wireless technology for user.
 To design more compact , usable & cheaper.
 To design a pick & place robot which you can use at any place easily.

9.  Various components of appropriate specifications should be
selected so as to complete the fabrication and assembly of the
Robot.
 Future work is to fabricate and manufacture the complete body
structure of the robot, then the assembly of all the manufactured
parts are to be done so that the required load is lifted and been
transported to the targeted place.
 Programming of the Pick and place Robot is to be done using a
suitable arduino & python Language. The Robot is to been
interfaced with the computer by the programmed software, which
will guide the robot to do its job for which it is been programmed.

10.  In the whole procedure of our project work completion we will
successfully build pick and place robot. For the completion we will
used various application software such as arduino & python.The
final output of the system is robot control with the raspberry pi.
 This is actual key solution to the industries. Such solution will
definitely save a human efforts.
