Standard gantry-type robot with three DoF (Degree of Freedom) which is designed to pick and place object is a basic automatic system that operates on single process but with multitasks. To support this objective, gantry type robot is controlled by a number of microcontrollers. Furthermore, the basic movement of the robot and its control become more complex as the system involves more than two microcontrollers which allows those movements run in parallel and synchronized mode. The gantry type robot built here uses a single master controller with multiple slave controllers. The master receives processes and sends data of displacement to the slave controller. Meanwhile the slave controller moves following the command as given by the master controller. From a series of tests conducted, the result shows that this robot functions well with approximately 93% success rate. For further development, the use of LCD display can be considered to help the user verifying the data being input using keypad.
