Human Hand Emulator
CHAPTER 1:
AIM
The aim of this project is to copy the hand and arm motions of a human operator and repeat the same motions on a human like robotic arm system, simultaneously.
Introduction
A robot is an automatic or virtually intelligent agent that can carry out tasks robotically or with some supervision, typically with the aid of a remote control. In practice, a robot is usually an electro-mechanical machine that is guided by means of computer and electronic programming. Robots can be autonomous, semi-autonomous or remotely controlled. Robots are used within an increasingly wide variety of tasks such as for household appliances like vacuuming floors, mowing lawns, cleaning drains, building cars, in warfare, and in tasks that are too expensive or too dangerous to be performed through humans such as exploring outer space or at the bottom of the sea. In the implementation process, the software consists of the commands that control a robot 's actions and provide information regarding required tasks. When a program is written by means of software, the robot is able to implement commands and achieve the particular errands.
The Human Hand Movement Emulator combines concepts of Mechanical and Electronics Engineering to form a robotic emulator hand, that can grip, move and perform similar tasks as done by a human hand at places that are inaccessible or not fit for the human hand.
CHAPTER 2:
WORKING PRINCIPLE:
The robotic arm will work in two modes.
1. Input by human: The robotic arm will emulate the actions performed by human arm. This will be done using a virtual arm which will be controlled by the human. The microcontroller will sense the motions performed by the virtual arm, understand them and output signals to the robotic arm. The robotic arm will move based on the signals provided by microcontroller.
2. Pre-programmed set of motions: The microcontroller will be fed with a program. This program will contain
