A robotic arm is a robotic manipulator, usually programmable, with similar functions to a human arm.
Human pick the things without thinking about the involved steps. In order for a robot or a robotic arm to pick or place
something, someone has to tell it to perform different tasks in a particular form moving the arm, to rotating the “wrist”
for movement of “fingers”, so we can control each joints through the computer interface. Many types of robotic arms
are there, but the most common type of robotic arm can control by either hydraulic or pneumatic system. Other way is
less known to control the robotic arm by using of gears. Aimed of project is to develop a pick and place robotic arm with
a soft catching end effectors that is designed to avoid extra pressure on the object.
