The Automatic photo bio-modular therapeutic robot is a device which radiates infrared light to the muscles with chronic pain, muscle spasms, joint pains etc. with the help of x-y robotic plotter. The robot uses the x-y robotic plotter for the motion of infrared bulb, thus offering the bulb an omnidirectional mobility. In contrast to traditional system of therapy, this device uses a robotic arm to perform the infrared therapy and minimize the human interaction and reducing the time. Also with the help of thermal camera we can pinpoint the pain area to the exact spot and sent the coordinate to the xy robotic arm. This project adopts a model-based approach for combining infrared therapy with automation. Various pilot experiments were performed during the proceedings to study the movement of the infrared bulb and some mechanical modifications were done to overcome the constrains of the xy robotic arm. The results of the model which was built and is compared with the real-time behaviour of the system and its significance is analysed. A control algorithm is built in a micro-controller and tested for optimal results. At the moment, this device is a new concepts. The advantage of this type of mobile robot is its Omni-directional capabilities and reduction of human interaction with the patient which could prove to be useful in hospitals which are trying to reduce the manual labour and time of interaction between the doctors and the patients. For instance, infrared light is a best mode of therapy because it penetrates to the inner layers of the skin at about 3-7 centimetres deep. Thus it can be applied to muscles, nerve points and bones for efficient treatment. Studies show that infrared light with wavelengths ranging from 700 to 1000 nanometres can be used to treat inflammatory conditions and muscle spasms.
