Pick and Place ABB Working with a Liner Follower Robot

AbstractIndustrial robot is widely used in small and medium workshops, however, the robot cooperating with other devices are important aspect for achieving the full autonomous system. This paper reports on the development of line follower mobile robot correlated with ABB industrial robot manipulator. The line follower mobile robot is a prototype model design and fabricated for material handling purpose. Thus, hardware components as well as software programming are concurrently developed with each other. Meanwhile, a specific micro-controller for the line follower robot associated with the ABB main controller is developed. A sensory system also attached for completing the operational loop. Experimental operation shows fully successful for the developed system. Hence, ABB industrial robot could incorporates further in low cost fully automation system
