    ABSTRACT
    • Robotic arms are programmed robot with similar function of a human arm.
    • Aim : To develop a robotic arm which helps the physically handicapped
    person to write.
    • It is programmed to write down the words that individual wants.
    • To perform the writing operations, the robotic arm will be fitted with a pen.
    • It can also make you draw small sketches.
    • It will be a low cost device that can enable the people who are physically
    challenged to write.
    • This presentation describes the basic design of writing robotic arm , how it
    can be implemented in different fields.
    INTRODUCTION
    • It is always difficult for physically handicapped and blind people in case of
    write up.
    • They always need stenographers to help them to write.
    • AIM OF PRESENTATION: To provide a system which eases the lives of
    handicap, blind and paralyzed people by completing their write-up work
    • MAJOR ADVANTAGE: Writes the contents on paper using pen.
    • It is a mechanical hand which is used to write the characters.
    • Helps students to save their time from unnecessary write-up work.
    • Completes their writing part with much faster , efficiently & without errors.
    BLOCK DIAGRAM
    COMPONENTS
    1.ARDUINO UNO :
    • Microcontroller board based on the ATmega328
    • Achieves throughputs close to 1MIPS per MHZ.
    • Aim : To increase the processing speed.
    • It has 14 digital input/output pins.
    • Operating voltage : 1.8 to 5.5 volt.
    • Connection: Connect it to a computer with a USB cable or power it with a
    AC-to-DC adapter or battery.
    • Features the Atmega8U2 programmed as a USB-to-serial converter.
    2.SERVO MOTOR :
    • Allows precise control of linear or angular position, speed.
    • Involves a sensor which is coupled to a motor for location feedback.
    • A motor appropriate for use in a closed-loop control system.
    • Operates based on the PWM signals received.
    • PWM is used to control the motion of servo motor based on controllers
    digital output.
    • When the beam is at the preferred location, power supply is stopped.
    • If not, the motor is twisted in the suitable direction.
    Pulse Width=1ms
    *minimum pulse

    Pulse Width=1.5ms
    *neutral position

    Pulse Width=2ms
    *maximum pulse
    3.SERIAL CABLE :
    • Required to transmit the data from computer to arduino board.
    • The data is transmitted in the form of digital pulses
    • Frequently used between computer and other peripherals
    for data communication.
    • Involves transmitting data over a single data line and one
    bit at a time.

    4. SOFTWARE :
    • It is used for processing libraries of algorithms such as
    i. Filtering
    ii. Equalization
    iii. Dynamic range control
    iv. Reverberation sources ; Eg: audio oscillators
    v. measurements.
    METHODOLOGY

    The working of the system can be explained by following 7 steps :


    STEP 1 : wooden frame working
    STEP 2 : connecting servo motor.
    STEP 3 : flexible nib pen making.
    STEP 4 : connecting pen.
    STEP 5 : connection of components.
    STEP 6 : simulating software.
    STEP 7 : dumping code.
    WOODEN FRAME WORKING

    • Make X,Y axis gantry on frame.


    • Cut wood according to dimensions.
    • Attach pieces perpendicular to Y-axis.
    • Insert the stepper motor.
    • Take another ply and make another pair taking ground as reference.
    • After that machine is ready to move in X,Y directions.
    Connecting Servo Motor
    • We have to make z axis for pen movement.
    • It is done with the help of servo motor.
    • Stick servo motor on X axis gantry
    • By doing so, shaft of servo motor is outside.
    Flexible nib pen making
    • To make Z axis we need pen to be flexible up and down.
    • Take a ball point and open the pen.
    • Cut top end and refill up to 1 cm.
    • Take a spring on top end.
    • Take some length of sewing thread and bind this thread on
    refill.
    • Make hole on pen case and close the pen as it is.
    Connecting pen
    • Now we stick this pen to servo motor in bigger side of shaft
    using glue gun.
    • Now the flexible- nib pen is mounted on a servo motor which
    rotates the tip onto the writing surface.
    • Bind Thread on servo motor shaft.
    Connections
    • Now Stepper Motor Driver connect on Expansion Board
    A4988 Driver module.
    • Now connect the Arduino Uno R3 to the expansion board.
    • Place the 12 volts battery on the backside of the XY axis
    Gantry.
    • Connect 2 pieces of stepper motor with heat sink and place
    this along with expansion board on the backside of this 12
    volts battery.
    • Connect the 12 volts dc battery as positive and negative
    connector.
    • Now attach X and Y axis stepper motor on the expansion
    board A4988 Driver along with the servo motor.
    Software components
    • The software components of the system comprises of the
    following software components:
    1. Arduino Program
    2. Ink scape software
    3. Programming
    ADVANTAGES & DISADVANTAGES
    ADVANTAGES:
    • It is portable.
    • Can use any type of calligraphic pen.
    • Useful for writing documents.
    • It uses auto writing machine.
    • Stores large amount of data.
    • Saves time , money & effort.
    DISADVANTAGES:
    • Auto writing machine need a battery.
    • It stores only document and not any
    other type of data such as image type.
    • Pronunciation must be perfect.
    CONCLUSION
    • The paper proposes the design of automated writing robotic arm
    • the aim of our system is to build a robotic arm that would showcase the
    writing skills.
    • That based on programming and draw small images.
    • the proposed system can proved helpful for different categories of people.
    • Specifically for physically challenged persons to write and express their
    thoughts in written manner.
    OVERVIEW OF THE SYSTEM
    • The main objective of our proposed system is to make arm “write the
    letters ”.
    • Microcontroller unit used is arduino.
    • To convert the signal into text and text into digital, software acts as a
    analyzer.
    • The 3 dof robotic assembly is employed to position the arm.
    • The programming is done.
    • This converted text is given to arduino board in the form of digital stream of
    data using serial cable.
    • Arduino controls the servo motor which acts as “actuators to control the
    movements of robotic arm”.
    • The end effectors of robotic arm is attached with tool head to hold the pen
    for writing.
