This project report is about to develop an automatic system for dispense and collect the traffic cones by using manipulator which is robot arm. The development of the robot arm which is five degree of freedom is the most important part in this project in order to make this system become an automatic system. A microcontroller PIC18F46K22 is used as the brain part of the robot arm and C programming had been used to programme the microcontroller. For the five joint parts of the robot arm, three different types of motor had been used which are cube servo, dc motor and servo motor to represent five degree of freedom of the robot arm. The sensor that had been used in this project is potentiometer which is used for measurement to measure the position needs for this robot arm. The size of traffic cones used is reduced to the smaller size which is compatible with the size of the robot arm in this project.
