Automated PCB Drilling Machine With Efficient Path Planning

Abstract: This paper presents the design of a PCB drilling machine, where the drill holes are automatically detected from an image of the circuit eliminating the need to manually enter the drill hole coordinates. The goal of this project is to design and implement an Arduino controlled PCB drilling machine. Further the drilling machine uses path planning method which is used to make the system more stable and accurate.
