Arduino Robotic Hand: Survey Paper

Abstract

The Hand is a necessary part of the human being. Though the hand is used for everything in our day to day life, its strength and flexibility limits the use in extreme scenarios. The Robotic hand works on Arduino Uno micro-controller and is programmed using Arduino C (similar to Embedded C language designed especially for Arduino micro-controllers). The basic working of the robotic hand is based on conversion of flex input (from flex sensors) into rotational output (to Servo motors). The servo motors have strings that attach them to individual fingers, thus resulting in human like motion of robotic hand. The robotic hand can be designed to be more efficient and flexible than the human hand. The robotic hand may be connected to a network and used over long distances. The robotic hand may be automated for certain applications in Factories. The Robotic Hand can be designed to operate with precision over long distances using a network. It can be designed in such a way that heavy objects can be lifted which may be impossible for average humans. Further this paper describes the base projects used to make this paper and how this bot works using Arduino Uno microcontroller. Also the proposed plans for this robot in different fields of research and development and industrial or road safety are explained further.
