Abstracts.
A pick and place robot is the one which is used to pick up an object and
place it in the desired location. It can be a cylindrical robot providing
movement in horizontal, vertical and rotational axes, spherical
robot providing two rotational and one linear movement, an articulate
robot or a SCARA robot (fixed robots with 3 vertical axes rotary arms).

Advantage.
 They are faster and can get the work done in seconds compared
to their human counterparts.
 They are flexible and have the appropriate design.
 They are accurate.
 They increase the safety of the working environment and actually
never get tired.

Let us see what the pick and place robot actually consists of:

A Rover: It is the main body of the robot consisting of several rigid bodies
like a cylinder or a sphere, joints and links. It is also known as a
manipulator.
End Effector: It is the body connected to the last joint of the rover which
is used for the purpose of gripping or handling objects. It can be an
analogy to the arm of a human being.
Actuators: They are the drivers of the robot. It actually actuates the
robot. It can be any motor like servo motor, stepper motor or pneumatic
or hydraulic cylinders.
Sensors: They are used to sense the internal as well as the external state
to make sure the robot functions smoothly as a whole. Sensors involve
touch sensors, IR sensor etc.
Controller: It is used to control the actuators based on the sensor
feedback and thus control the motion of each and every joint and
eventually the movement of the end effector.

Working of a Basic Pick N Place Robot:

The basic function of a pick n place is done by its joints. Joints are
analogous to human joints and are used to join the two consecutive rigid
bodies in the robot. They can be rotary joint or linear joint. To add a joint
to any link of a robot, we need to know about the degrees of freedom
and degrees of movement for that body part. Degrees of freedom
implement the linear and rotational movement of the body and Degrees
of movement imply the number of axis the body can move.

Components Required:-
Servo motor
Bot wheels
Chases
Arduino module
Jumper wires
Ultra sonic sensor
