Abstract: In today’s world, there is an immense increment in need to create artificial arms for complexity in human situations where
human interaction is difficult or impossible. This may involve taking readings from an active volcano to diffusing a bomb. Here I propose
an easy mechanism by which a robot can be controlled by using our computer science domains such as Python, Adafruit remote and
Raspberry pi. The development of this arm is along with a personal computer for signal processing, which will all be interfaced with each
other using serial communication. Finally, this prototype of the arm may be expected to overcome the problem such as placing or picking
hazardous objects or non - hazardous objects that are far away from the user. Robotics is now playing a big role in several Automation
Fields for a few days. In the coming year’s robotic behaviour will become more effective

I. INTRODUCTION
The current Internet revolution along with the increasing robotics in many day-to-day operations of the Internet of Things has taken over all
the heavy loads from the person to itself. The Internet of Things (IOT) is essentially an interconnection of several devices. Robots are used
to support human beings in different situations if we combine the robots and the Internet of things then we can do more than we would
imagine. This project addresses technical implications, open problems, and IOT-assisted robotics applications. The paper's main objective is
to introduce a device with one robot used for selecting and putting applications in industries. This system has Robot-Control-Communicating
Modules. There are basically four modules that need to be discussed here.
1) Raspberry pi Laptop System
2) Development of an account for Ada-fruit IO Remote.
3) Formulation of operating python code software.
4) Robotic arm link with pi, servo motor, motor driver and checking.
The robotic arm is a kind of mechanical arm which can be programmed to behave like a human arm. An anthropomorphic robotic arm is
developed and implemented in this work, and is operated from a remote location using adafruit programming software and python. This can
find application on a wide scale where direct human presence is a concern such as operating in a toxic environment or during the disposal of
bombings.
In the past some works were done to imitate the movement of human hands, but some of the designs were complicated and often expensive.
A very basic concept is used in this work, and low-cost materials readily available are used for producing the robotic arm. The arm is made
from sheets of aluminium. Using servo motors, the finger movements are controlled by pulling them using cables which function as human
hand tendons. Considered Robotic ARM has one base rotation which contains a servomotor of 180 degrees and all remaining are DC motors
with proper delay.
Current System:
In the actual device, the radio frequency-based robotic arm is based on one servo Arduino UNO microcontroller and 3 DC motors are attached
depending on the signal it is going to operate. In this device information is transmitted to the Robotic Arm and Micro controller in the form
of Wired Communication.
Proposed System:
In order to resolve the difficulties in the current system, we need to improve the whole system by using different modules to relay the
information in the form of wireless. Using adafruit front end configuration with four buttoned controller, Raspberry pi is interfaced with
Robotic arm and Client Server python software.
