Automated Mobile Controlled Forklifter

Abstract - Manual lifting operations have several limitations.as inefficiency, safety hazards, and human error that weremade clear by the ever-increasing demand for automation material handling systems. To replicate industrial applications, however,of forklift operations, this paper describes the design implementation of an Automated Mobile Controlled Forklifter using an ESP32 microcontroller, are real- time capable and configurable operation is made possible by the system's wireless control via a Bluetooth mobile application and a NEMA-17 stepper motor through a DRV8825 driver and turn a lead-screw based lifting mechanism for controlling the vertical position.four DC geared motors powered by an L298N motor driver allow for smooth and accurate vehicle movement.The system is powered by a 12V rechargeable battery and a 7805 voltage regulator provides controlled power to the controller. Smooth guide rods ensure that the lifting mechanism is controlled and stabilized under load. The experimental findings demonstrate reliable mobility, precise lifting performance, and stable wireless control. The proposed system offers an economical, efficient, and scalable solution for robotics research, industrial automation simulation, and educational applications.
