A new generation grid solver Robot system for object picking using shortest path

Abstract

After doing the work for long hours human workers are tired, and have their energy exhausted. Due to this they are not able to give their full output. Some time industries may face a problem of some iterative work and they appoint worker for that work, it increases overall cost of industry product. So it is a big problem at industrial level. This Paper is based on our major project Grid solver and Object picker Robot that is based on 8 bit Microcontroller ATMEGA 32. This Robot follows the black line which is drawn over the white surface. The sensors are used to sense the line. When the light signal falls on the white surface, it gets reflected and if it falls on the black surface, it is not reflected, this principle is used to scan the Lines for the Robot. All the above systems are controlled by the Microcontroller. Our robot traverses entire Grid in a defined manner until it detects any object in its way and if it detects any object, it grabs that object into the grabbers and takes it to the start location via a shortest path from that location, we are calculating the shortest path in terms of number of hops or nodes traverses by the robot, for this purpose we are implementing a counter which keeps the track of number of nodes traverses, which in turn helps our robot to take the desired shortest path efficiently. Ultimately our Robot will search the object in the Grid, pick that object and bring to destination position in minimum time by following shortest path.
