Desenvolvimento de um protótipo para a prova de conceito da utilização cinemática de um mecanismo manipulador robótico para simulação de servimento de chope automatizado

Abstract

The advance of digitization in Brazil has influenced the presence of technological innovations in various sectors of the economy. Some establishments selling draft beer use digital equipment to provide customer service, with automated orders and payments at their service counters. This equipment is of great value for the reduction of queues and a lower probability of errors caused by human beings in these processes. The concept of the internet of things brought the possibility of integrating these equipments through the internet, being very important to store information in the cloud of daily occurrences in these places, seeking corrections with a focus on continuous improvement. The present work only seeks to prove the technical functionality of a robotic manipulator when serving draft beer, seeking to bring greater standardization to this stage of customer service, in addition to generating better repeatability rates, reducing even more the queues and the waste caused due to human errors at these times. For this, a theoretical survey was carried out through qualitative and quantitative approaches to assemble a prototype of a robotic manipulator mechanism, in order to program a movement similar to the manual serving of draft beer. The prototype was tested, through a bench containing a wooden plate for its fixation and electrical and electronic equipment that allow the use of the Arduino as a simulator of the functioning of the IoT, which receives and sends information to the elements controlled by it at all times. The objective was reached, since the tests proved the effectiveness of the robotic arm, with reservations regarding improvements in its mechanical and electronic structure, to generate greater durability and reliability in the process.
