Robotic Arm with Computer Vision
An Arduino-powered robotic arm integrated with OpenCV to detect and pick objects based on color.
Project Instructions
1. Assemble a 4DOF robotic arm kit.
2. Connect servo motors to Arduino Mega.
3. Attach a webcam above the workspace.
4. Use Python (OpenCV) to detect colored objects (e.g., red ball).
5. Send serial commands from Python to Arduino to control the arm.
6. The arm picks and places the object in a defined location.
Materials Required
1. Arduino Mega
2. Robotic Arm Kit with Servos
3. USB Webcam
4.Computer with Python + OpenCV
5. Jumper wires + power supply
Circuit Diagram
Code & Programming
Python script processes camera frames → detects object position.
Arduino receives commands over serial → controls servos to move arm.
