Developing and Researching a Robotic Arm for Public Service and Industry to Highlight and Mitigate Its Inherent Technical Vulnerabilities

The present study highlights the design and testing of a robotic arm and its vulnerabilities. The purpose of this paper is to develop, manufacture, test, and improve the robotic arm as a separate system. Additionally, its actuators in operation and the evaluation of challenges in Strengths, Weaknesses, Opportunities, and Threats (SWOT) analysis (or vulnerability assessment) are considered. The specific objective consists in designing the robot’s actuators to generate effective work and torque in operational conditions of the external environment in which are found objects that have a resistance force. Another secondary specific objective is to realize an automatic loop with a corresponding architecture based on a previously stressed actuator configuration.
