Gesture Control Robotic Hand

Abstract

Technology has boomed more in the last few years. Robotic hands can be a great development for disabled people. Robotics have advanced over the years in the modern era. The goal of this project is to design a robotic arm that can help disabled people in their daily activities. A gesture-controlled robotic arm can help disabled people to live a normal life. A gesture-controlled wireless robotic hand for disabled people could be an essential device for those who have problems using their hands due to injury, illness, or disability. If a disabled person uses a robotic hand, then it will make his life easier than before. This gesture-controlled robotic hand is a wireless system that can communicate information between two points, and it is not physically connected to any electrical product. The robotic hand movement is done by servo motors positioned on each finger of the robotic hand, which rotates according to a person’s hand gesture detected by flex bend sensors positioned on each person’s fingers. Basically, it will convey movement information from a real person’s hand to the robotic arm wirelessly. The robotic arm copies the patient's hand movements and gestures in real-time. Arduino IDE software is used to program the system into the Arduino Uno board. This software has its own library for input and output interfacing. The designed system can be used to grab and move things. This robotic hand can help them to perform a wide range of activities. He can grab heavy things; he can do his daily work as before without the help of others, and he can work outside with this hand as before. He can do simple everyday tasks like drinking and eating, as well as complex tasks like using a computer. This device can make the lives of disabled people more comfortable.
