Abstract :
This paper presents the development of a robot arm assisting people with disabilities (PWD) at a working place. According to task-oriented design (TOD) procedure, a robot arm is systematically designed and developed. The robot arm is designed and manufactured to carry out 2 tasks, ´circuit test of PCB´ and ´soldering inspection and repairing of PCB with solder´. It is tested and evaluated at the company for handicapped workers.
