A robotic arm comprises several essential components:

  1. : The foundation of the arm, allowing for stability and horizontal movement.

  2. : Positioned at the arm's base, this joint facilitates vertical movement and horizontal rotation.

  3. : Following the shoulder joint, the elbow enables the arm to flex and extend, adjusting its reach.

  4. : Typically located at the arm's end or after the elbow joint, the wrist provides rotational capability, enhancing the arm's versatility in positioning.

  5. : The functional attachment at the arm's final part, such as grippers, welding torches, or sensors, tailored to the specific task the arm is designed for.

  6. : These mechanisms drive the arm's movement, utilizing electric motors, pneumatic or hydraulic systems to execute tasks efficiently.

  7. : Integrated within the arm, sensors detect and provide feedback on various parameters like position, orientation, and force, crucial for precise and safe operation.

  8. : The brain of the robotic arm, comprising hardware and software elements that interpret commands, process sensor data, and generate output signals to govern the arm's motion and behavior.

These components collectively form the robotic arm, each playing a vital role in its operation and functionality.
