A robotic arm with a SCARA (Selective Compliance Articulated Robot Arm) configuration that has two degrees of freedom was developed. Each link of the robotic arm was designed using FUSION 360, and were fabricated using suitable materials. We used 4.8-6.0V servo motors as actuators and an IR sensor and a metal detector sensor were used for the robot’s functioning. Arduino UNO was used as the controlling device for functional accuracy. This paper presents the development of a robust, functional, and cost-effective robotic arm to be used in a variety of industries, including manufacturing, logistics, and healthcare. The robotic arm was developed to accurately pick up an object and place it at a desired location and orientation. This was accomplished by using advanced sensors and control algorithms that enabled the robotic arm to precisely manipulate objects in a variety of scenarios.
