1. Create joints like picture below.
2. Create IKhandle.
3. Create 2 locators. Name the first locator is locatorHand and the second locator is locatorObject (optional, you can name it as you like).
4. Constrain point between locatorHand and IKhandle (select the locatorHand first and select IKhandle then go to constrain and select point constrain). Constrain point between locatorObject and IKhandle. See picture below you will see locator Hand W0 and locator Object W1.
5. Parent the object with locatorObject.
6. Key frame locator Hand W0 (1) and Locator Object W1 (0). This mean locatorHand controlling ikHandle 100%. Key frame locatorHand too.
7. Move locatorhand to locatorObject and key frame it
8. Key frame locator Hand W0 (1) and Locator Object W1 (0) and move one frame change and key frame locator Hand W0 to 0 and Locator Object W1 to 1. Now locatorObject Controlling ikHandle 100%.
9. Move the locatorObject to the second box and key frame it.
10. Move the locatorHand to same place like locatorObject and key frame it. (I’m usually press v and move it)
11. Key frame locator Hand W0 (0) and Locator Object W1 (1) and move one frame change and key frame locator Hand W0 to 1 and Locator Object W1 to 0. Now locatorHand Controlling ikHandle 100%
12. Now Move the locatorHand to the first place. Thanks to joint in my tutorial see you again in my next tutorial.

please i am new in maya
could u tell me how to be proffessinale in maya i love animation programs >
Just learn. There is no secret
I think you may have left a few things out for the novice. I had to add a revolve to the arm and change the pole vector to actually get the thing to rotate over to the other box correctly. I still have not figured out how the locator is supposed to pick up the object and move it to the other side other than selecting the Locator Object which is parented to the locator, moving it to the other box and keyframing that. I am also having a hard time key framing the LocatorHand WO and LocatorObject W1. When you move the arm is the locator supposed to move or be attached to the arm as you move it? Sorry, I am having a bit of an issue with this tutorial.
