The Internet of Things (IoT) is the next generation of wireless technology that automates routine tasks and reduces labor. Software, sensors, and actuators are combined into a network of linked devices in the Internet of Things. The gadgets may exchange data and communicate over a network. Our laboratories have used this technology to make appliances more convenient and automated. One of the key reasons for this increase is its capacity to both secure and facilitate research. The IoT innovation can provide fantastic content for modern automation. This study proposes an internet-based smart laboratory and laboratory machine automation, cloud storage data gathering, and monitoring system to efficiently operate types of machinery, online live data streaming, and monitor mechanical work devices.

Robotic arm plays a great role in assisting the human hand in current life. This project involves the design and implementation of two degrees of freedom (DOF's) assistant arm robot for aiding humans in the medical recovery for the upper left limb motion. The contribution in this work involves three parts: the first one, design special interfacing circuits based on (Arduino card) for controlling the designed arm motion, where the motion execution and record is done by designed reading and writing circuits, these circuits controlled by a designed MATLAB fuzzy proportional derivative (PD) controller, this control structure implemented by assisting of special Arduino Simulink library In MATLAB Simulink, where it will be used for control the signals transition, a new Simulink design proposed and investigated to interfacing the controller with the arm motors and encoders via the circuits. The second contribution is adding an assisting spring system to the arm first motor joint, where this addition rises the motion stability through the control phase by increasing the required torque in the arm first joint, especially after the human hand load is attached to the robot links, where its tested effectively without needing for replacing the motor with increased torque. The results illustrate the power of these circuits design and the error reduction occurred after supporting the system's spring. The Third contribution, An Internet of robotic thing (IoRT) model is designed, and then the robot arm is connected using our designed internet -based control system using IoT protocols for communication.

The Internet of Things (IoT) are most widely used for controlling the robots. The robotic arm is controlled using a Python-based IoT framework. This also enables the robots to be controlled by checking for unique login credentials. Apparatus and Bots are now playing an increasingly essential part in the computerization business. This paper explains how a robotic arm is created using the Internet of Things for Commanding and Integrating commercial processes. With the use of servo motor, we can now see the robotic arm can move in four directions. When a servo motor moves, the micro-controller turns the analogue signal into a digital signal that the servo motor can understand.

In many situations, autonomous robots can provide effective solutions to gruelling tasks. In this case, it is desirable to create an autonomous robot that can identify objects and relocate them if the object meets certain criteria. Dealing with a large number of objects is a very menial task, this is an excellent application for a robot of this type. In this case, to keep costs and design complexity low i.e an Arduino microcontroller is choosen instead of raspberry pi as raspberry pi requires another device to interface microcontroller with the motor drivers which are costly and also we are using joystick app instead of keyboard which increases the flexibility to use. By using Arduino c++ programming language is used.

In this generation, industrial robotic arm has been widely used in fields separated from the human society. It is limited because it is not possible to manipulate and interact with people. To depict robotics technology with human-machine interaction and wireless communication, interactivity is possible in real time with virtual objects that makes some other technology needs to be developed which maximizes robot use to assist people with their work in an efficient way. The main objective of this project is to develop and design an interface of Internet of Things controller for robotic arm. The main purpose of making this interface is to remotely control the robotic arm using internet facilities. The robotic arm has four servo motor where all servo motor are assigned with single pulse width modulation which can be control separately. Furthermore, the NodeMCU board was used to receive signal from the Blynk app that authorizes monitoring and controlling the movement of the robotic arm to perform pick and place operations. Meanwhile, the results of this study are verified through manual test implementation. Two type of manual test were done for this project that is pick and place application and time delay to send the data. The pick and place operation of the robotic arm was observed to see whether the robotic arm capable to conduct the instruction precisely to move within their desired angular displacement degree. The time delay to send the data shows that the respond at each of the servo motor to move 180 degrees with no load was influenced by the Wi-Fi signal strength at particular places. Hence, this prototype of the robotic arm showed that the operational to control the robotic arm to perform pick and place application using internet facilities was successful.

When we talk about robots, people tend to think that robots are only suitable to use in the industry or just for the scientist to test about new technologies. However, the main function of robots are to help humans in doing work either in the industries or just helping out doing normal household chores. To bridge the gap of the normal perception of "robots are for the industries only", internet will be use. This paper presents the development of an internet controlled robotic arm. The movement of the robot arm can be controlled by a computer via the internet. This robot can be used to demonstrate that a robot can be used inside a home for daily human chores. The robot is controlled by Arduino Uno that interfaced with the internet using Arduino Ethernet Shield. Two type of analysis were done for this project that is servo motor analysis and accuracy test. The accuracy test shows that the results of the actual output of the servo motor as compared to the input send to Arduino Uno via internet is between 97% to 99%. This prototype of the robot showed that the operational was successful. This user friendly robot is expected to bridge the gap between robot and household chores.
