Abstract

Disabled people with disabilities upper arms, elbows are more difficult to behave everyday life. Robot plays a vital part in making our lives more facile. The scope of our project is to provide a relation between human and machine by the interaction of human hand and robotic arm. The idea converges towards the conception of a robotic arm identical to human hand with gesture that is more precise by using flex sensor controlled by hand gesture . The main structure of the mechanical arm is made by using high efficiency of plastic material, moving fingers using servo motors and push-pull fingers by sling. and using open GL software application and Arduino Uno. When it comes to building your own robotics systems 3D printer is printed to create the real artificial arm and finger. The arm consists of five Degree of Freedom (DOF) and an end effector, which allows the interaction with the real world. The construction of the robotic arm adapts the principles of inverse kinematics and torque equilibrium. Robotic arm was controlled by the keypad which required a lot of practices and calculations to manipulate the robotic arm to reach desired position. The design and implementation of a sensor-based glove system attached to flex sensor that can be worn by the user. The vital part of the system which the robotic arm is equipped (for picking and placing the objects).
