Robotic arm showing writing skills by speech recognition

Abstract

Robotic arms are programmed robot manipulator with similar functions of a human arm. Several kind of high technology prostheses are available for doing the basic functions of human arm. Aim of our project is to develop a robotic arm which helps the physically handicapped person to write. The robotic arm is to be fitted to the patient's amputee hand, and will write down the words that the patient pronounces to the microphone. The special feature of this robotic arm is that it is fitted with a pen which performs the writing operations. This paper describes the design of the robotic arm, advantages and drawbacks of this arm.
