I. INTRODUCTION
The development of the robotic technology
aims to assist humans in performing particular job and
it is very fast evolving research field today. Since
most of the developing countries are moving towards
the industrialization; many industrial robots were
introduced which reduces the requirements of the
labor, waste and increases the accuracy.
The mobile robots were widely used for the
faster movements and arm robots were designed to
hold, lift and move the objects while combining the
both aims to develop the robot with many functions.
The robotic system can be controlled
manually using the data transmission through cable or
through the wireless connections like Wi-Fi,
Bluetooth, Zig-bee.
