Wireless robotic hand for remote operations using flex sensor

Abstract

In today's world, robotic surgery plays a very important role to enhance the surgical field. A robot which performs the various complex operations with minimal invasion, higher accuracy and flexibility are used in robot assisted surgeries. The robots used for such surgery have extreme higher cost because of their sophisticated software and hardware. Here, we proposed wireless controlled robotic system for surgical tool handling (pick and place). In this, we use three different fingers position of hand to control the robotic system with the help of flex sensor movement. According to different positions of the finger, resistance of the flex sensor changes, this change in the resistance is used to move the shaft of servo motor that moves the robotic arm as per position of a flex sensor in wireless environment using Zigbee device.
