Abstract

This is the report of DIY drawing robot using Arduino Uno. This project involves the design and construction of a drawing robot that can create artworks autonomously using an Arduino microcontroller. The robot consists of a simple mechanical structure with two motors that controlitsmovement,aswellasaservo motor that controls the pen's position.Therobot'smovementsarecontrolledbythe Arduino, which receives instructions from a computer program created using Processing software. The program translates digital images into a series of commands that the Arduino can execute, allowing the robot to create intricate drawings with precision and accuracy. This project combines elements of programming, electronics, and mechanics to create an engaging and interactive projectthatdemonstratesthecapabilitiesofDIYrobotics.

CHAPTER1:INTRODUCTION

A DIYdrawingrobotusingArduinoUnoisaroboticsystemthatisdesignedtodrawpre-defined designs on paper or other surfaces. The robot is controlled by an Arduino Uno microcontroller board, which sends signals to a set of motors that control the movement of the robot's arm and drawingmechanism.

The system is typically composed of several components, including a chassis, motors, gears, a pen holder, and an Arduino Uno board. The chassis serves as the base of the robot, while the motors and gears enable the arm to move in aprecisemanner.Thepenholderholdsthedrawing tool (pen, marker, or brush), and the Arduino Uno board provides the instructions and control signalsthatmovethearmandthedrawingmechanism.
