In this paper, an inexpensive, a lightweight and easily controlled robotic arm with Arduino controlled structure is developed. The developed robotic arm is fully functional and accurately reacts to the movements from the user dictated via servo motors with respect to the required positions. The human user places the lightweight robotic claw at the desired place and uses the potentiometers to adjust the location of the claw, the arm, and the belt. These potentiometers relay both movements, horizontal and vertical. The user can also control the robotic claw remotely via the network, built-in inside the Arduino board in the later versions. By using the networking Arduino board, one can use the claw from anywhere within the range and the user can also extend the wires to manually use the claw without any network support. The research methodology and design are introduced before the robot system is realized and tested. Finally, conclusions are given, and future improvements are discussed.
