        abstract = {This paper details the development of a mobile pick-and-place robot. This work presents the design and validation of a compact mobile robot that can locate misplaced items, pick them up, and return them to a specified location. The platform combines a differential drive wheelbase with a three-degree-of-freedom robotic arm. The bot navigation is achieved using a line-following algorithm. An onboard Raspberry Pi 4 model B runs lightweight vision algorithms to recognize targets and plan to grasp objects. An Arduino Uno simultaneously governs wheel motion for smooth positioning. The robot has been built entirely from low cost. These results demonstrate that affordable automatic pick-and-place capabilities suitable for small-scale logistics improve its warehouse management and inventory management.},
