摘要

The primary objective of this study is to provide an answer to the increasing requirement for high-tech robotic capabilities in hostile environments by means of developing a prototype which does not only meet existing requirements but also acts as a launching pad for the next wave of improvements in control and functionality of robotics. This paper reports on the development of an articulated robotic arm for high-risk, highly detailed tasks such as demilitarization of explosives. The focus of this robotic arm is on precision cutting capabilities that are created with an advanced cutting tool included in the end-effector of the arm. This tool is suitable for such complex cutting tasks in delicate disarming explosive device operations or precision manufacturing application. It uses the robot operating system 2 by ROS2, which ensures that this robotic arm can run using any framework while offering strong bases for efficient and real-time control for modularity-based operations. The system architecture relies on ROS 2 real-time communication, with an added advantage of its control on the multiple degrees of freedom in the arm. Flex sensors provide real-time movement feedback, and actuation of the joints using servo motors enables precise and smooth motion control. Using ROS 2’s rich library for sensor integration and real-time processing capabilities, the robotic arm is excellent for adapting well in dynamic environments with improved mission success rates. The system will be able to adapt with time because it is future-proof and, in advance, will have plans made for control mechanisms based on hand gesture that may be a wearable haptic glove or even the analysis of video real time, providing an operator intuitive and responsive control of movement and functions for the robot.
