Abstract

Object sorting systems is one of the useful systems in today’s Industrial world. Previously, man power was utilized for this purpose but the process is time consuming when it comes to sort large number of objects in industries as human brain takes time to process images. Replacement of human sorting operations with robotic implementation would reduce efforts and also yield better results with comparatively lesser time. The detection of the particular colour is done by a light intensity to frequency converter method and shape is detected by image processing. The robotic arm is controlled by a microcontroller based system, which controls DC servo motors. Robotic arm is a kind of programmable mechanical arm, similar to human arm. They are programmed to faithfully carry out repetitive actions with a high degree of accuracy.
