Abstract

This work deals with the implementation of a robotic arm with three different control mechanisms designed to be used in parallel. We developed the following control mechanisms: a local control by buttons on the board, a remote control by mobile app and web interface, and a voice control. We used the ESP8266 NodeMCU to process the input signals coming from each of the control mechanisms. Due to the limited number of digital inputs on the processing board, we used a 74HC148 coding integrated circuit. In the development of the remote control mechanism by application and by voice we used the Blynk IoT platform and the Google Assistant and IFTTT technologies.
