Abstract: Muscle wires or shape-memory alloy is an alloy that \"remembers\" its original, cold-forged shape: returning to the pre-deformed shape when heated. This material is a lightweight, solid-state alternative to conventional actuators such as hydraulic, pneumatic, and motor-based systems. Shape-memory alloys have applications in industries, medicine and aerospace. In This paper details of the design of an intelligent small scale manipulator for industrial applications (Pick and Place) will be designed using the new concept of muscle wires. Those wires will act like actuators but with less electrical consumption and lighter weight. The system will be designed using solid works . The manipulator will have four degrees of freedom and Hand Shaped gripper. It will be used in the local small industries for sorting or pick and plqace porpoises. The added value of this system will be to enhance the capability of the local Saudi industry in producing their own manipulators from off shelf components

Abstract: A food and beverages serving robot using fuzzy logic technique is presented in this paper. The utilisation of fuzzy logic technique\'s objective is to improve the performances and behaviors of these service robot in performing a line following technique to go to a group of workers in a targeted cubical office. A PIC16F877A is used as a controller and RF 315MHz transmitter and receiver are used to communicate between the user and the controller. The program was created by using the MPLAB IDE software. By using an optimal setting of Pulse Width Modulation (PWM), the performances of the robot were analyzed by recording the time and speed taken by the robot to complete the task with and without the utilisation of fuzzy logic. Both of the data is compared and discussed. The results shows that the line follower robot can reach the destination with minimum of time and smoothly with the fuzzy logic approach.
