Efficient and Feasible Gesture Controlled Robotic Arm

Abstract

Accuracy, Precision and Speed are the three parameters that are of utmost importance while designing and developing a product or a process. These three parameters also form the performance measuring indices of the finished product or process. Technology and science constantly evolve to enhance these parameters for better efficiency and improved quality of products and processes. Back in 90s, remote control emerged as the mother of technologies designed for convenience of its users and created a major uproar. Remote control entered every field, right from operating electronic appliances like televisions to toy cars. Now, with the ever-growing development in technology, there is a demand for more convenience and greater degree of freedom. This ideology has led to the rise of robotic arm in almost all sectors. Robotic arm has been a definite improvement over remote control in all the latter's applications. Robotic arm has taken over medical electronics and aeronautical applications and is widely researched for military usage. It is now the time to make robotic arm more efficient. This is the time to enter the legion of actuating the robotic arm over using remote control. In this paper, the use of computer vision along with hardware components like sensors and controller is used to create a gesture controlled robotic arm. This paper will outline the scope and magnitude of scaling of robotic applications by actuating the robotic arm.\par.
