This paper aims to a zero turn material handling robot driven by pneumatic actuator as versatile end effectors for the material handling system. The arm consists of pneumatic hand and pneumatic wrist. The arm can grasp various objects without force sensors or feedback control of any. Therefore, this study aims to control wrist motion space. Hand shape is similar to the human hand with mechanical characteristic. Althe pneumatic actuators used as the drive source. This system develops the robot having rotary motion independent of the base. This model can be used to overcome the problem of space limitation and reduces the labour cost in small scale industries. It includes the robot arm, pneumatic cylinder and motors. Finally a zero turn robot with pneumatic system is fabricated.
