1. INTRODUCTION
1.1 OVERVIEW
Robotiscomputer-generatedmachine-drivenagent.
It is typically a electro-mechanical engine in which it is
directed by the workstation or microelectronic software
design, therefore capable of doing jobs on it’s individual.
Alternative collective characteristics is that by it’s presence
of actions, the robot frequently delivers a logic that it has
determined of action of it’s own. Though the presence and
abilities of robot is massively varies, featuredsegmentsofall
robots are automaticandthoseportablearrangementsarein
some form of under control. This director the robot to three
separate functions called processing, action, and phase-
perception. In public the attached sensor on the robot are
preceptors, the onboard microcontroller or processors are
the main units for processing and action is performed by
using motor or additional mechanical elements.
In this i present a new project called a object sorting robot
by recognizing the different colors of the object, this robot is
helpful in collecting the object that are on the moving
conveyer place and distributes those objects in correct
location with different color. Many manufacturing workings
areas are dangerous for persons to do hisjobthereforeusing
of this robot are to reduce the risky work, time consumption
and labor limitation. It is built by using the simple
electronics devices like microcontroller for processing, DC
motors for actions and color sensor for recognizingdifferent
colored objects.
1.2 PROBLEM STATEMENT
Based on a survey conducted in a helmet manufacturing
company, there was a problem regarding the count of the
total manufactured products and also, there were various
assembly lines for every different colored helmet. The main
idea was to provide a single conveyor for all the different
colored products which would decrease the work space and
labor cost but also provides the basic functionofsegregating
different colored objects into its respective boxes. Also, the
accurate count of the manufactured products could be
centralized using wireless communication.
In a food packaging industry huge amount of time and labor
was invested in segregating raw and ripened tomatoes. An
object sorting robot would decrease the time, work space
and labor cost while providing the basic function.
To decrease human works in operating the mechanical
machines, different functionality robotic arms are
established. Different functionality arms that are used in
robotics are designed and developed to handle the jobs that
are repeated. Different considerations are taken care to
design the automation system. To design a high strength
mechanical structure, these are the important parameters
are to be consider and those are load bearing capacity,
optimum weight, degree of rotation andspeedofmovement.
In the form of designing an electronics system the
specification of the used electronics devices are to be
considered.
1.3 OBJECTIVES
 To make the process of sorting the material, this pick
and place robot is being designed.
 In some of industries use man power to transfer the
material form one place to other by repeating this for
a period of time it will cause injuries to an operator.
 The use of this robot make the work simple for the
operator, and no longer to bend and lifts up the
materials, this reduce the cause of injuries to the
operator and increasing the work efficiency.
1.4 METHODOLOGY

2.1.3 WORKING PRINCIPLE
After material production, Materials will be kept on
conveyer, that conveyer will bring the materialsintothe
packing area. In packing area IR sensor is used to
detecting material arrival, conveyer will stop when
material arrives at the packing area andthecolorsensor
is used at packing area to sort out the materials based
on the color of the material. After identification of the
color of the material, the same coloured object is placed
in the prescribed bins, and those bins are kept at
packing junction. Here the picking and placing of the
material is done using the robotic arm.

This system is fully controlled by the control unit and capable of picking objects and places it to the respective area. This cost effective device was designedbyusingsimple concept to achieve the constant and reliable tasks without the error from humans. This sorting device is very much useful in production areas and different types of household activities. Thus the robot with pick and place automation with color detection and distinction property is achieved successfully. The system could be used in industries for picking and placing objects efficiently and also for surveillance. The interfacing of all the components on a single board, the system could be made compactreducingthesizeandmaking it more compact.
