What is robotic arm?

A robotic arm is a controlled ,reprogrammable multifunction manipulator Design to move materials, parts tools, or special devices through variable programme motions for the performance of variety of tasks. Human arm's job is to move their hand from place to place. The robotic arm's job is to move an end effector from place to place

Automobile Construction Health care: surgery , research, etc. Laboratories: science, engineering , etc. Manufacturing Military: demining, surveillance, attack, etc. Mining, excavation, and exploration Transportation: air, ground, rail, space, etc. Utilities: gas, water, and electric Warehouses Repairing

 Servo motor based robotic arm. The arm devised to perform some of the task which can be perform by a human arm Degree of freedom , the no of joints determine the degree of freedom of the arm. a place where it can bend or rotate or translate. Generally robotic arm is a 6 degree of freedom. We can increase the degree of freedom to increase the joints as per our need.

 The workspace of robotic arm is all places that the end effector (gripper) can reach. The workspace is dependent on the DOF angle/translation limitations, the arm link lengths The workspace is highly dependent on the robot configuration.

Essential characteristics
Mobility: It possesses some form of mobility.

Programmability: implying computational or symbolmanipulative capabilities that a designer can combine as desired (a robot is a computer). It can be programmed to accomplish a large variety of tasks. After being programmed, it operates automatically.
Sensors: on or around the device that are able to sense the environment and give useful feedback to the device Mechanical capability: enabling it to act on its environment rather than merely function as a data processing or computational device (a robot is a machine) Flexibility: it can operate using a range of programs and manipulates and transport materials in a variety of ways
