This paper introduces RoboVision ARM, a cost- effective robotic arm designed for autonomous object detection and sorting through the integration of computer vision. Our system leverages an Arduino microcontroller, servo motors, and OpenCV for real-time object identification and precise pick- and-place operations. Key contributions include a robust real- time object detection pipeline, efficient servo control algorithms, and a multi-degree-of-freedom mechanical arm. Experimental validation demonstrates high accuracy in object detection within a 30cm range and successful manipulation of various objects. This project underscores the efficacy of open-source tools in bridging hardware-software integration for applications in educational settings and industrial automation.
