#RBT050 A linear robotic system for parcel shorting and transport.

A linear robotic system that uses stepper motor to sort parcels as used.

Overview:

The Linear Robotic System for Parcel Sorting and Transport is an automation solution designed to efficiently transport and sort parcels in a controlled environment. This system uses an array of components such as NEMA-17 stepper motors, ESP32 microcontroller, CNC Shield A4988, yellow wheel gear motors, and L298N motor drivers to create an autonomous robotic system capable of moving parcels within a designated path. The system is controlled via a mobile app, allowing operators to move the robot forward or backward, and manage parcel movement effectively. The use of NEMA-17 stepper motors enables precise control for sorting parcels, while gear motors and wheels facilitate the movement of the robot along a linear track.

Working Principle:

The system’s operation is based on two primary components: the robot’s movement system and the parcel sorting system.

1. Robot Movement: The robot is powered by four yellow wheel gear motors that drive the robot in a linear path (forward and backward). These motors are controlled by the L298N motor driver which provides forward and reverse motion. The robot’s movement is controlled via a mobile app that communicates with the ESP32 microcontroller, which acts as the main controller for the system.

2. Parcel Sorting: The NEMA-17 stepper motors are used to control the movement of the box or parcel within the designated sorting station. The stepper motors are controlled by the CNC Shield A4988, which provides precise motion control for the NEMA-17 motors to move the parcel accurately.

3. Mobile App Control: The ESP32 microcontroller connects to the mobile app through Wi-Fi, allowing the user to control the robot’s movement and sorting operations in real-time.

4. Sensors and Feedback (optional, not mentioned but can be integrated): Sensors (e.g., encoders or limit switches) can be added to give feedback on the robot’s position and the sorting process, ensuring the system operates smoothly.

Advantages:

• Precise Control: The NEMA-17 stepper motors provide high-precision movement for sorting parcels, ensuring that parcels are placed in the correct location.

• Remote Control: The system can be controlled via a mobile app, making it easy for operators to manage and monitor the system remotely.

• Automation: With the combination of the CNC Shield A4988 and L298N Motor Driver, the system can run autonomously with minimal human intervention, enhancing efficiency.

• Efficient Sorting and Transport: The combination of gear motors and wheels allows for smooth, continuous parcel transport within the sorting area.

• Modular Design: Components such as the ESP32 and L298N Motor Driver can be easily upgraded or replaced, making the system scalable and adaptable to different needs.

Materials Used:

• NEMA-17 Stepper Motors (for parcel movement within the sorting station)

• ESP32 Microcontroller (main controller, mobile app interface)

• CNC Shield A4988 (for controlling the NEMA-17 stepper motors)

• Yellow Wheel Gear Motors (4 motors used for driving the robot forward and backward)

• L298N Motor Driver (for controlling the 4 gear motors, enabling forward & reverse movement)

• Mobile App (for controlling forward and backward motion of the robot)

• Power Supply (for powering the system, motors, and ESP32)

• Wires and Connectors (for interconnecting components)

Additional Considerations:

• Mobile App Functionality: The mobile app should allow for easy controls such as:

  • Forward/Backward motion of the robot.

  • Manual override for parcel sorting or movement.

  • Real-time status updates (e.g., battery status, movement direction).

• Motor Control Logic: Using the CNC Shield A4988 for precise control of the NEMA-17 motors will require fine-tuning the stepper motor drivers for smooth operation. Parameters like microstepping and current limits should be optimized to prevent overheating and ensure accuracy.

• Scalability: The system can be easily scaled by adding more motors or adjusting the design for different parcel sizes or handling requirements.
