Abstract—This paper presents an innovative wireless robot arm gripper that replicates human arm motion. The development of this robot is based on the Arduino Uno that will interface with the wireless PS2 controller to the robotic part that replicated by the servo motors. The servo will moves the robotic arm, base and the gripper through 180° from the default position which is 90°. The S06NF STD servo motor has been placed at the arm part. It will move the robotic arm up and down while two C40R has been placed at the base and gripper as to move the robot to desired position and to open and closed the gripper. The robotic arm is designed to be a lifelike but simplified. The main idea of this mobile robot is use to pick and place hazardous object and also placing and picking object in a fastest and easiest way to be used especially in industry. The objective of this project has been achieved.

Introduction
Nowadays, robots are increasingly being integrated into working tasks to replace humans especially to perform the repetitive task. In general, robotics can be divided into two areas, industrial and service robotics. International Federation of Robotics (IFR) defines a service robot as a robot which operates semi- or fully autonomously to perform services useful to the well-being of humans and equipment, excluding manufacturing operations [1]. These mobile robots are currently used in many fields of applications including office, military tasks, hospital operations, dangerous environment and agriculture [2]. Robotic arms are mechanically controlled devices designed to replicate the movement of a human arm. The devices are used for lifting heavy objects and carrying out tasks that require extreme concentration and expert accuracy. The robotic arm most often is used for industrial and non industrial purposes. For the industry purpose, the
