Hand Gesture Controlled Robotic Arm using Low Power Micro-Controller

摘要

ABSTRACT Patients who are permanently on bed are totally dependent on others for their day to day needs, even for taking their regular medical dose they need help from others. For such peoples we are providing a robotic arm with a gadget that will help them for doing their daily activity. The robotic arm will trace the motion of human hand and accordingly act upon for this particular. Person has wear gadget which will consist of flex sensor, accelerometer, microcontroller, zigbee modules etc. In our gadget we are developing flex sensor. Micro-controller we are using is MSP-430 which is low power and not used yet for such application and also provides a mobile platform for the robotic arm. Further robotic arm consist of flex sensors, various microcontrollers (AVR, PIC, ARM processors, 8051 etc.) accelerometer & also the wireless modules. Not only it is use for medical purpose but it also use for industrial purpose such as automobile industry also it will be useful where safety of the workers is main issue i.e. by doing critical work which harms the human life. Following invention is described in detail with the help of Figure 3 of sheet 2 showing overview of motors position and Figure 6 of sheet 3 showing the sequence diagram of the gesture controlled robotic arm.
