The robotic arm is one of the most significant innovations in the field of robotics and automation, offering numerous opportunities for improving efficiency and precision in industrial processes. This paper focuses on the application of robotic arms in the industry for the automation of various tasks, such as transferring materials from one place to another, assembling products, welding, painting, packaging and quality control, etc. Through an analysis of modern technologies and trends, the paper explores the benefits of introducing robotic arms into production lines, including increased productivity, reduced costs and improved worker safety. It also discusses the challenges associated with implementation, such as the high initial investment, the need for specialized personnel and ethical issues. In the practical part of the paper, we use the DOBOT MG400 robotic arm to transfer work material from one point to another in a production process.
