Design and Fabrication of 6-axis Gesture Controlled Robot

Abstract

In this paper, a six-axis robot which can be controlled by gestures is fabricated. The robot has six degrees of freedom and is easily accessible since the robot does not need higher efforts of controlling. A human hand glove is integrated with transceiver and flex sensors, the resistance variation of the flex sensor is transmitted to the robot axis. Based on the variation the robot can rotate angular or in a linear manner about its axis. A simple transceiver is used in order to control the signals which are sent and received between the robotic arm and the human hand. Arduino programming is used for controlling the system.
