Design of a Controlled Robotic Arm

Abstract

This paper presents a design of controlled robotic arm with myoelectric and body action signals. The implementation uses the sensed signals, via the signal processing of ARDUINO UNO R3 development board and NUC140VE3CN development board (ARM processor), to control the robotic arm wirelessly. The proposed design can be used in the dangerous operation environment. The users can contactlessly control the robotic arm safely. And it can operate specified action repeatedly and accurately for factory manufacture. The rotative angle of robotic arm controlled by Servomotor is decided by pulse width modulation signal obtained from microcontroller via BlueTooth 4.0 wireless technology. The pulse width modulation signal obtained from microcontroller is decided by the sensors located on the human's arm or sensor glove.
