Robotic Arm Using Servo motor and Potentiometer

What is a Robotic Arm?  

      A robotic arm is a particular kind of mechanical arm that can be programmed and perform tasks comparable to a human arm. It can be a standalone robot or a component of a more sophisticated robot. Such a manipulator has joints that allow for either translational (linear) displacement or rotational motion, similar to an articulated robot. A kinematic chain may be thought of as being formed by the manipulator's linkages. The end effector, which is identical to the human hand, is the culmination of the manipulator's kinematic chain. However, the phrase "robotic hand" is frequently used as a synonym for the robotic arm.

Types of Robotic Arm

• Articulated arm
• Six-axis
• Collaborative robot
• SARA
• Cartesian
• Cylindrical
• Spherical/Polar
• Parallel/Delta
• Anthropomorphic

       Today in this article I will be explaining how to make a four-axis robotic arm using Arduino,serv motor and potentiometer  let's get started 

       Note:-  To make the Robotic Arm you will know some basic knowledge of Arduino with servomotor also Arduino with  Potentiometer
