DESIGN AND DEVELOPMENT OF AN AI-BASED 3D-PRINTED ROBOTIC ARM

This paper presents the design and development of a 3D-printed robotic arm manufactured using PLA material. The arm components were modelled using CAD software and printed through FDM-based 3D printing. The robotic arm is integrated with artificial intelligence and with the help of OpenCV to identify object colours using a camera and perform pick-and-place operations accordingly. Structural analysis and load distribution of the arm were evaluated using MATLAB simulation to validate the design, and the obtained results were agreeable with simulation results and the variations in the results due to the dynamic nature of the system
