| Summary: | This paper focuses on the development of a robotic hand that imitates the movement of a human hand. The
basic movement of the surgeon hand was limited from a wrist,
elbow and shoulder degree of freedom during an operation.
The artificial hand gripper system requires sensors for a
smooth and accurate movement. This allows large movement
from the surgeon hand to be corrected on a small scale with a
perfect incision and without any vibration. Although such a
system available in the market, the utilization of robotic hand
particularly in Malaysia for medical application are still very
minimum due to its expensive cost. Therefore, in this research
we plan to develop a reasonably cheaper home built robotic
hand which can perform the task of a hand gripper as a beginning step. The initial objective of this research is to analyze
and develop artificial arm with a strength limit proportional to
the weight. Next, followed by the attachment of a wireless
system on the prosthetic gripper via Radio Frequency (RF)
transceiver. The system development involves a Programming
Interfacing Circuit (PIC) 16F877 as a core processing for the
instrumentation, communication and controlling applications.
A series of flex force sensors are fitted in a leather glove to get
reading from the movement of human fingers. Microcontroller
will further use this information to control multiple servo that
act as a mechanical hand inside the prosthetic gripper. |
