Abstract

Humans live in a world of technology. We aim to recruit improving technology in saving precious humans’ lives and time. This project is a robotic arm to be controlled remotely over the internet using wear on the human arm giving the full range of motion and degrees of freedom. The project will be used where human control is needed yet isn’t available. It will help save time in medical applications and replace the human presence in dangerous zones. Concerning the medical industry; it has first been introduced in the 1980s by Canadian physicians and was used to perform eye surgery. The use of the project is vital when medical interference is needed in crucial times but the traffic or any reason preventing the doctor from reaching the patient is present. It should also be considered that in case of a global pandemic, such as Covid-19, the doctors themselves are also subjected to danger when put in direct contact with the patients, and hence the treatment process could be from distance in such cases.
