WEEK 3

CALCULATE BUDGET FOR PROJECT

This week I had list all the component and item that need to use for robotic arm project. The total of my project is RM 597.19 including robotic arm chassis. The price is not too high because this project is about robotic, so I already estimate the budget. After that, I buy equipment such as soldering set and toolbox that can make easier to construct the circuit. As I mention before, student  can claim to UniKL BMI Rm500 maximum, so every component and equipment that i used for my project can claimed.

WEEK 2 (FYP 2)

WEEK 2

SURVEY ROBOTIC ARM & COMPONENT

On second week, I should start survey the price of the component that need to use on my robotic arm. Of course, the main part of this project is robotic arm chassis that is important to choose the quality with the material either steel, plastic or stick. Many companies can create the robotic arm with the customer budget. The costlier the robotic arm's size, the better the robotic arm's efficiency. The picture below shows type of the robotic arm:

Figure 2: Wooden Robotic Arm

 

Figure 3: Plastic Robotic Arm

After doing some research, I decided to buy metallic robotic arm at Global Electromech Sdn Bhd, Malacca. The robotic arm need to pre order that will take around three weeks to custom it and I choose it because the quality that can lifting object until 700 gram. After that, I had also survey the price of component and decided to buy at ZD Electronic because he have all stock for component.
