GESTURE CONTROL OF ROBOTIC ARM

摘要

GESTURE CONTROL OF ROBOTIC ARM Robotic arms have become a prominent part of any industrial process. In laboratories and other sterile environment where direct contact of the human arm is not advisable robotic arms are used. Robotic arms are mostly remotely controlled by buttons or panels and sometimes in batch process they are autonomous. The usage of panel boards or control sticks includes a lot of hard wiring and subject to malfunction. It also induces some stress on the operators as for the different actions of the robotic arm different sets of buttons have to be used by the operator to control the robotic arm. Gesture control is one of the easiest methods of controlling the robotic arm as the robotic arm captures the hand gestures of the operator and just imitates the gestures. Gesture control of the operations will give the operator the ability to virtually handle the objects without any distress. This type of controlling will help to reduce the bulk wiring and which is also easy to handle by any kind of operator..
