        abstract = {Robotic systems are increasingly being adopted in healthcare to improve the quality and effectiveness of rehabilitation therapies. Physiotherapy for patients affected by paralysis or stroke often requires repetitive, precise, and supervised movements, which can be physically demanding for therapists and time-consuming for patients. This paper presents the design and methodology of a robotic arm for physiotherapy that assists patients in performing controlled upper-limb rehabilitation exercises. The proposed system integrates a microcontroller-based control unit, servo-driven joints, safety mechanisms, and a basic blood pressure monitoring system to ensure patient safety during therapy. The system aims to provide reliable, cost-effective, and adaptable rehabilitation support while reducing the workload of physiotherapists and improving patient recovery outcomes.},
