Introduction:

These days, robots are progressively being integrated

into working tasks to interchange human especially to do
repetitive errands. Generally, robotics can be divided into
two areas, industrial and service robotics.

Objectives:

►To apply the knowledge obtained through the study of

feedback and control systems in the design of a useful
prototype that would certainly solve a contemporary
issue.

Problem:

► During the trial and testing, one problem that was

encountered is the defective servo that use by the
gripper. The servo motor was not able grip well. To solve
that we replace the servo motor with the SG90 servo
motor and the outcome is much better.

Problem:

► The use of 4 AA batteries for the motor driver did not

end well for the motion of 4 DC motors. To resolve this
problem we use 2 18650 Lithium-Ion Batteries and the
outcome is much better.

Conclusion/Recommendation

► To improve its performance it is recommended to use

stronger servo motor and stronger material for the arm,
so that the arm would be able to hold larger loads. The
car should also be powerful enough to carry all the
weights without having problem to its mobility. For the
controls , it could be improved by using accelerometer
attached to the operators hand so that the arm would
just imitate the arm without having to individually control
the servos angle.
