Abstracts: In the field of robotics, there are five types of robot configurations that are SCARA, articulated, Cartesian, cylindrical and spherical. In this research, the focus is on articulated arm since it mimic to human arm. Articulated arm consists of revolute joints that allowed angular movement between adjacent joint. The arm's rotating base is powered by a single large-scale servo. Mounted to the base is an elevation joint, or shoulder, that can move the arm through 180 degrees, from horizontal to vertical on each side. The shoulder uses one large-scale servos, working together to provide the torque needed to lift the rest of the arm, as well as any object that it may be grasping.
