Depends on its use. For standard civilian use, I would recommend 5 motors, as a 5-axis robotic arm.

I would recommend reading up on how to design a robotic arm on this page: http://www.societyofrobots.com/robot_arm_tutorial.shtml
Remember, each Degree of Freedom, or DOF, equals 1 more motor and encoder.

That Depends ! Motor numbers is depends on DOF required and number of joints which needs actuation. In case of 6 DOF robotic arm we use 6 motors.
