Abstract

This paper presents Robonex – The AI Powered Pick & Place Robot developed through the integration of embedded systems and computer vision. The proposed robot is designed to detect the specified object, grasp it using four degree of freedom gripper, and autonomously navigate to place it at defined goal position. The robot is built on a four wheel drive mobile base having path following and obstacle avoidance capabilities to enable reliable navigation. The system has been physically implemented and subjected to continuous testing to evaluate its operational feasibility. This paper outlines the overall system architecture, including the embedded hardware and vision components, and discusses the successful execution of autonomous pick and place operations by the developed system.

Keywords

Pick and place operations, computer vision, embedded systems, robotic gripper (4-DOF), autonomous navigation
