Abstract: Social changes have directly affected the demand for quality products and services which is evident from greater demand for manufactured products of superior quality at a more economical price. To meet this demand of customers, sophisticated controls and equipments have been developed in all sectors adopting newer technology in association with integrating different technologies. In line with integration a revolutionary change has taken place in the field of robotics whereon robots are developed to attain higher accuracy in speed position and force control. Thus force controlled robotic arm is used to guide an operator to move in designated path accurately without actually deviating from the path. It can be used in various production areas like welding, gluing, Sequential tightening of bolts etc. The major use of these kinds of robotic arms is that we can achieve the same degree of accuracy, precision and quality produced by a skilled worker from an unskilled worker. Thus reducing unemployment in developing countries which have huge unemployment rates that too in a very less cost. Keywords: Robot, Degrees of Freedom, Accuracy, Precision I. INTRODUCTION Robotics is a branch of technology that deals with design, construction, operation and application of robots, as well as computer systems for their control, sensory feedback, and information processing. These technologies deal with automated machines that can take the place of humans in dangerous environments or manufacturing processes, or resemble humans in appearance, behavior, and or cognition. Many of today’s robots are inspired by nature contributing to the field of bio-inspired robotics. The concept of creating machines that can operate autonomously dates back to classical times, but research into the functionality and potential uses of robots did not grow substantially until the 20 th century. Throughout history, robotics has been often seen to mimic human behavior, and often manage tasks in a similar fashion, Today, robotics is a rapidly growing field, as technological advances continue; research, design and building. New robot serves various practical purposes, whether domestically, commercially or militarily. Many robots do jobs that are hazardous people such as diffusing bombs, mines and exploring ship wrecks. II. LITRETURE REVIEW Jinno M and Takahashina M implemented the theoretical concept of force control to that of production areas like Grinding, Chamfering and Polishing in the year 1995. To facilitate easier operations they developed task oriented robot language and force control for following edges of work pieces. They also developed tool moment control method, a skip function and round function to cope up with work piece difference James E Bobrow and Brian W McDonell suggested that Pneumatic actuators used in force control robot is as good as that of electric actuators, in the year 1998. The control approach which they used was the triangular form of coupled rigid body and air flow dynamics to establish path tracking. In
