Describe the basic structure of a robotic arm.

• A robotic arm is made up of sensors, batteries, and a display screen.

• A robotic arm is structured like a human arm with muscles and bones.

• A robotic arm is structured with joints, links, an end effector, and a control system.

• A robotic arm consists of a single solid piece with no moving parts.

What are the main joints found in a robotic arm?

• Revolute joints, prismatic joints, spherical joints

• Fixed joints

• Ball joints
