This thesis is related to the mechanism of a robotic arm that serves as a tool to lift an object from one place to another where it is widely used in the industries. In the field of robotics, there are five types of robot configurations which are cartesian, cylindrical, polar, SCARA and revolution. In this research, the focus is on the mechanical design and electrical system and fabrication of a 5 Degree-of-freedom articulated arm which is capable of 'human-like' behaviors whilst reducing weight-to-payload ratio. The scope and objectives of this research study is to design robotic arm with human characteristics (Anthropomorphic), to fabricate prototype of a lightweight anthropomorphic robotic arm, and to obtain minimal weight-to-payload ratio and static deflection while lifting maximum payload of 500g. Besides to control and position the arm using a microcontroller, it is also to testing and analysis of the robotic arm.
