Development of a Robotic Arm and implementation of a control strategy for gesture recognition through Leap Motion device.

摘要

The objective of this paper has been the development of a prototype of articulated robotic arm and the implementation of a control strategy through gesture recognition (Leap Motion Sensor), by means the natural movement of the forearm and hand. The series of advances relative to the control techniques have caused that the robotics it has also introduced as an educational complement in obligatory basic teachings. Final Year Project TFG is an academic task that allows to evaluate the skills and competences acquired by students along their university period. So students, during their development, can implement numerous theoretical bases of an entertaining and fun form. To develop and to control robotic elements locally or remotely, it has always proven to be a clear example of additional motivation on the students. The prototype developed has exceeded the initial expectations and at low cost.
