Wireless hand motion controlled robotic arm using flex sensors

摘要

In today's world, in almost all industries, much of the work is performed by robots or robotic arms with varying degrees of freedom (DOF) as necessary. The aim of this study is to adjust the perception of remote controls for manually controlled robotic-arm operation. This paper offers a way of thinking and a way to eradicate the keys, joysticks and replace them with some of the more intuitive strategy that is to operate the full robotic arm by hand movements operators. The robotic arm is constructed in such a way that it consists of two movable fingers and other movement, which is, a spreading elbow and the up down movement. The robotic arm is designed to mimic the motions of human hands using a hand glove. The hand glove consists of 3 flex sensors for controlling the motions of the finger, the elbow, and other movements. Servo motors are the actuators used by the robotic arm. The proposed electronics device recognizes a basic hand gesture that will be made in real lifetime and will relay valued signals wirelessly through the RF module.
