Development of Haptic Robotic Arm using Flexes Sensor and Accelerometer is designed to control the robotic arm by recognizing the hand gestures. The hand gestures are nothing but, hand movements. Gesture based control is more popular in the field of robotics, which interfaces human movement in accordance to the machine / device. Haptic technology is used for designing a robotic arm. This Haptic technology is defined “to make use of the feedback from the sense of touch that enabled to control devices remotely”.

A developed haptic robotic arm is operated by detecting the motion of hand using flex sensors. The designed robotic arm mimics the actions of the hand and it controls the robotic arm.

The movement of hands is more flexible and also it supports variety of degree–of–freedom that enables to operate on different directions and angles.

A special glove is designed as the controller which is wearable and moved accordingly to operate the robotic arm. We have used the following electronic based devices for our Development of Haptic Robotic Arm Using Flexes Sensor and Accelerometer,

Required Hardware Components
