A robotic arm is a mechanical tool designed to perform precise and skillful tasks, imitating the movements of a human arm. It comprises multiple segments connected by joints, allowing it to articulate and maneuver in diverse directions.

There are several types of robotic arms, including articulated, cartesian, SCARA (Selective Compliance Articulated Robot Arm), spherical or polar, cylindrical, and others. An articulated robotic arm is flexible with rotary joints, enabling movement similar to a human arm. These arms vary in payload capacity, categorized as less than 500 kilograms (kg), 500-3000 kilograms (kg), and 3001 kilograms (kg) and above. They also feature different axes configurations such as 1-axis, 2-axis, 3-axis, 4-axis, 5-axis, 6-axis, and 7-axis. Robotic arms find application across various industries including automotive, electrical and electronics, metals and machinery, plastics and chemicals, food and beverages, for tasks such as material handling, cutting and processing, soldering and welding, assembling and disassembling, among others.
