This is a survey paper on a robotic arm and their development. It gives a technical introduction to some of the recent research work in this field. This is a working field of research in which there are a number of outstanding open problems and an area of exploration. Nowadays, a different variety of robotic arms are commercially available. Some of them are excellent in accuracy and repeatability. In this paper, we understand the evolution of robotic arm in last 20 years and described different parameters of an arm. Type of robotic arm only depends on these parameters. Our survey may be used for knowledge and guidelines for future research work. The paper concludes with research gaps and proposed work. Robotic arm uses in the different fields like a household, workplace, and working station.
Keywords-Robotic arm, axis, degree of freedom, working envelope and space, kinematics, payload, speed and acceleration, accuracy and repeatability.I.
