Virtually controlled robotic arm using haptics

Abstract

Haptics and robotics are widely growing technologies of 21 century. Robots of present days are being used in the fields which are secluded from the human society; they face major short comings because of their limited abilities to interact with humans, to fill this void the proposed system uses haptics technology which provides a tactile feedback to give the feel of touch, sense and force. The main objective of this project is to design and develop the robotic arm that is controlled by haptics glove for virtual environment capable of haptic interaction. Without risking human limbs. The proposed system has applications in many areas including robotic medical surgery, rehabilitation, and exploration of harmful or remote environments, enabling technologies, defense application and education.
