    The document describes a student project to build a robotic arm. The objectives were to create an arm that could replace human arms and work in hostile environments, with fingers that move separately and together. The arm was built using flex sensors, servos, foam, a glove, and other components. It operates by reading gestures from a Leap Motion sensor and replicating the movements of a human arm. The project aims to explore applications of robotics in fields like manufacturing, medicine, and assistance for people with disabilities. Testing showed the fingers of the robotic arm could each move individually, achieving the goal of replicating human arm movement.

    AIM:
    The main objective of this project is to find a replacement to the human arm and make
    something that is much more stable and can work in hostile conditions. Get the fingers to
    move separately and together.

    THEORY & APPLICATIONS:


    Robotics is defined as the study, design and use of robotic systems for manufacturing. With the
    rise in manufacturing industrial activities, a semi mechanic arm is invented to help
    various fields such as medicine, labour, handicapped, etc. to perform a task or work instead of
    using manpower.It is very useful because it possesses high precision, intelligence and
    endless energy levels in doing work compared to human being. This Robotic arm is
    programmable in nature and it can be manipulated.
    The robotic arm is also sometimes referred to as anthropomorphic as it is very similar to that of
    a human hand. A self-sufficient semi mechanic arm would increase the speed of the
    operation and reduce the complexity.These days, robots became an availing hand for human
    being. Robot can perform any task with more precision and accuracy. This is very difficult to
    perform for human being in very less amount of time, such as used in industries for
    war heads, surgeries, placing heavy parts agriculture field in case of hazardous conditions,
    for land mine detection, bomb disposal etc. since the invention of first robot ever a mechanical
    steam-operated bird “the pigeon” which was designed by a Greek mathematician “archaist” for
    about 2300 years back. Archaist designed this bird out of wood and powered its
    movement through steam. Even though in the field of medical surgeries robots have shown
    their vital role in the form of ’da Vinci Surgical system’, it is a manipulator with multiple robotic
    arms, which grant doctor to operate from a safe distance with the help of a joystick. The ‘da
    Vinci’ allows into consideration of a quicker and more exact surgery.
    Now days, due to the advancement of technology robots can even explore without relying on
    a human. They have replaced human beings in extreme work conditions,which are dangerous
    for human beings to perform, as in industries due to the use to robots the productivity rate
    has increased tremendously. The advancement of robotics has also been used in our daily life
    and in helping of aged people, as elderly people face difficulty in performing daily life activities.
    Activities of Daily Living (ADLs) represent the everyday tasks individual usually ought to
    be ready to severally accomplish. People with injuries i.e. Upper limb injury, spinal injury,
    Polio, hemiplegia face problems in performing ADLs using human-computer interfaces
    technology several attempts have been made to propose stroke rehabilitation system by human-
    computer community, at last an interactive glove has been proposed for the stroke rehabilitation.
    This system includes exercises as curling of fingers, moving hand back and forth. The most
    common approach to create an interactive system is to perceive the motions from profundity
    information without processing the full posture, by applying machine learning strategies
    to some significant components removed from the depth data. Mainly most of the field of
    technology uses robots these days i.e. field of surgeries, medical rehabilitation, manufacturing
    industries, bomb diffusion etc. In mostly every field of robotics 5 or 6-dof robotic arm is utilized
    in making our task easier, the robots do not require any human interaction but in some cases,
    robots are to be manually controlled to perform certain tasks which were not programmed
    initially. Bomb disposing, space and military mission and medical rehabilitation require
    manual controlled robots to perform real time operations. Thus, a need to actuator arises to
    control the arm. A robotic arm constructed with diverse joints that replaces human arm joint.
    These entire joint driven by motor inside it, which is operated by a controller. The controller is
    made up of set of joy- stick to control each joint of the robotic arm. For the robot to come to its
    position we need to figure certain angles which is laborious task, we need a bilateral system,
    which is better than the joystick control. The most recent technology of the Leap Motion sensor
    has opened new doors for gesture recognition.

    RESULT:
    The fingers of the robotic arm are moving nicely , The extent of success is measured by
    each finger moving separately and replicating the action of the human arm sending the
    input via gestures.
    CONCLUSION:
    Robotics is defined as the study, design and use of robotic systems for
    manufacturing. With the rise in manufacturing industrial activities, a semi mechanic arm
    is invented to help various fields such as medicine, labor, handicapped, etc. to perform a
    task or work instead of using manpower. It is very useful because it possesses high precision,
    intelligence and endless energy levels in doing work compared to human being. This Robotic
    arm is programmable in nature and it can be manipulated. The robotic arm is also sometimes
    referred to as anthropomorphic as it is very similar to that of a human hand. A self-sufficient
    Semi-mechanic arm would increase the speed of the operation and reduce the complexity.
    Also in this project if we will use expensive servomotors and flex sensors we can get the best
    result.
