Remotely controlled industrial robotic arm and simulation of automated thermal furnace

Abstract

The right execution of controllers ensures the correct analysis of information, generating efficient results and better optimizing the system. In this report, two controllers were designed. Firstly, a remotely controlled robotic arm, since there are no such type commercially available controllers. Moreover, robotic platforms are costly, so students and researchers are often unable to learn the concepts of programming industrial robots. This project makes a non-destructive, remotely-controlled robotic arm to better teach students and researchers about programming and control of robotic arms. Secondly, simulation of an automated thermal furnace for ArcelorMittal on SIMULINK, which is used for the annealing process of steel strip. The annealing process requires heating and cooling of the strip within a short duration to make metals more workable and to improve the ductility, resistance and hardness. The proposed simulation project for ArcelorMittal is used to virtually demonstrate the annealing process of a furnace
