RESEARCH ON DESIGN AND DEVELOPMENT OF AN IoT-INTEGRATED ROBOT ARM MONITORING AND CONTROL SYSTEM IN INDUSTRY

Abstract

The current trend focuses on integrating intelligent control methods, including artificial neural networks, reinforcement learning, and adaptive control algorithms, to enhance the accuracy and operational efficiency of the 6-degree-of-freedom (6-DOF) robotic arm. At the same time, the application of IoT technology and SCADA systems for remote monitoring optimizes control processes and system maintenance, unlocking significant potential for Industry 4.0 applications. This paper focuses on developing a 6-DOF robotic arm control and monitoring system utilizing industrial IoT communication technology. The system enables real-time monitoring via wireless connectivity, displaying the robot's status on a monitoring screen while ensuring precise task execution. The control program is designed on a Programmable Logic Controller (PLC) platform and communicates through an IoT 2040 module, providing immediate responsiveness with a control accuracy of up to 0.5 mm when handling objects of 100mm × 100mm × 30mm in size and 300 grams in weight.
