In this paper we present the design of a three joint robotic arm printed out in polyethylene terephthalate glycol material which provide durability and has good chemical resistance. To move the arm, we used four servomotors for a complex orientation in horizontal and vertical plane. At the tip of the robotic arm a 5V vacuum pump was mounted to handle organic solar cells printed out on indium tin oxide treated glass sheets with a dimension of 25/24/1mm. For an easy and precise control of the robotic arm an Android application was developed with an intuitive user-friendly interface. The communication between the robotic arm and the Android App is established through Bluetooth protocol. The control of the robotic arm is executed by a custom program on an ATmega328 microcontroller.
