Mini Forklift Robot Control Design using Microcontroller for Industrial Applications

This study describes the hardware implementation of a miniature forklift robot to pick up objects from a base and place them in a designated storage slot. A standard smart phone with an installed android app served as the hardware for transmitting commands to the microcontroller. The precise calibration of the driving component's power requirements and location as well as the electric signals is required by means of microcontroller programming. The manual work can be replaced by the proposed work. Further, storing and arranging goods can be done automatically in short time and cost-effective manner. This can reduce the manual cost with higher logistics efficiency.
