The purpose of this thesis was to achieve upgrade of the existing hydraulic arm into a robotic hydraulic. Robotization would allow the transport of a any object from one location to another, in a spherical coordinate system. Because the market offers more and more compact and multi-purpose controllers, we decided to use a joystick that already has the controller installed. The accuracy of the automatic displacement was determined with the help of a rotary measuring system mounted on the pivots of the individual arms and a displacement meter. We concluded that we have achieved sufficient accuracy.
