Abstract: This project focuses on the design and development of a six-degree-of-freedom (6DOF) robotic arm capable of performing versatile and precise automation tasks. The robotic arm is designed to mimic human-like movements using six independent joints, enabling operations such as pick-and-place, assembly, and material handling. Servo motors are used for accurate positioning, while an ESP32 microcontroller manages control, communication, and system coordination. The system supports both manual operation through a Bluetooth-based mobile application and autonomous control via a web interface. An ESP32-CAM module is integrated to provide real-time video streaming for remote monitoring. The design emphasizes affordability, modularity, and scalability using open-source components, making it suitable for academic and industrial use. Safety features such as torque control, emergency stop mechanisms, and secure communication protocols are also incorporated. Overall, the robotic arm finds applications in manufacturing, healthcare, hazardous environments, and research, bridging the gap between theoretical learning and practical implementation.
