Rancang Bangun Robot Forklift dengan Kendali Smartphone Android Berbasis Arduino Mega 2560

Abstract

The use of robots is very important in improving the production process of an industry, Automation is one of the realization of technological development s, through the time required for the production process is shorter so that the productivity increases. Currently smartphone technology that can be used for various application has been developed. The use of smartphones as controlling units will provide a high level of practicality, considering that these devices are easy to use and have become a part of the everyday item that is always carried by humans. Through this research a fork lift robot that can be controlled through Android smartphone will built. The results show that the robot can be controlled via android smartphone to move several item wit h an average yield of 31.2 seconds/phase moving goods, the load which can be lifted is 200 grams. The limitation of torque and mechanical system used is still becoming a constraint that has to be fixed.
