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 with the help of 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).
