Hand Gestured Robotic Arm

Project Abstract:

To make human work easier and more accessible to people of all ages and sectors. Hand gestures have been identified as a mode of communication when interacting with a machine robot. Eliminating the use of primary modes such as the Remote, joystick, and so on. The hand gesture robot is useful for reducing human effort while achieving effective results. Hand gesture robot employs simple modules such as Arduino, accelerometers, nRF2401Ls, and so on, which have been found to be more effective than other wireless modules.

Project Background:

We came up with the idea of creating a hand that can be a handful while working 5 times better than any ordinary human hand by using our hand. Our concept is to build a robot hand that can be controlled by human hands. We plan to use Arduino as the primary microcontroller, as well as a few sensors and servo motors, at a lower cost than existing robotic hands on the market. With the passage of time, I hope to add more improvements.

We will use required components such as the nRF24L01 Module, Arduino Nano, Servo Motors in the required quantity, and required connections, with our hand acting as a transmitter in sending information and required gestures for performing specific tasks, and the robotic hand acting as a receiver in receiving tasks and orders from the transmitter. In this case, we'll use a glove as a transmitter.
