Gesture-based Control of a Bionic Arm – A Prototype Design

Abstract

A bionic arm is a robotic hand that can be controlled manually or by machines. It resembles and acts like a human hand. It makes use of AI technology to make decisions and control other hand movements. The primary function of this hand is to ensure that all productions and tasks are flawless. The movement of the hand can be controlled via a wireless medium; it utilises a camera to grasp the gesture or the task that it needs to perform. It can be used for industrial applications where the periodic function is not carried out by the machine; it is specially designed to perform unique tasks. This can be used to accent the words in the understandable mode for deaf people as well; it converts written or stored content into accent. This system performs multiple tasks as per the instructions provided to it as an input. Most applications that humans cannot perform in various situations can be performed by this bionic arm.
