A BRIEF INTRODUCTION: • A servomotor is a rotary actuator that allows for precise control of angular position, velocity and acceleration. It consists of a suitable motor coupled to a sensor for position feedback. It also requires a relatively sophisticated controller, often a dedicated module designed specifically for use with servomotors. • Servomotors are not a specific class of motor although the term servomotor is often used to refer to a motor suitable for use in a closed-loop control system. • Servomotors are used in applications such as robotics, CNC machinery or automated manufacturing.
Inside the servo
Robotic arm Description: 1.A robotic arm is a robotic manipulator, usually programmable, with similar functions to a human arm . 2.Servo motor is used for joint rotation, it has about same number of degree of freedom as in human arm. 3. Humans pick things up without thinking about the steps involved. In order for a robot or a robotic arm to pick up or move something, someone has to tell it to perform several actions in a particular order. 4. we can control each joint through computer interface to rotating the wrist to opening and closing the hand or fingers.

Arduino servo library details:
Application of Robotic Arm The robotic arm can be designed to perform any desired task such as welding, gripping, spinning etc., depending on the application. For example robot arms in automotive assembly line perform a variety of tasks such as wielding and parts rotation and placement during assembly.
In space the space shuttle Remote Manipulator system have multi degree of freedom robotic arms that have been used to perform a variety of tasks such as inspections of the Space Shuttle using a specially deployed boom with cameras and sensors attached at the end effector.
In medical science: "Neuroarm" uses miniaturized tools such as laser scalpels with pinpoint accuracy and it can also perform soft tissue manipulation, needle insertion, suturing, and cauterization.
