Robotic Arm Movements Wirelessly Synchronized with Human Arm Movements Using Real Time Image Processing

Abstract

A human hand can handle various objects by his hand, with better adaptive capacity and precision. In some hostile conditions, a need arises to replicate the human arm movements by some sophisticated manipulator. This paper illustrates the controlling of the movements of such manipulator i.e. robotic arm in accordance with the movements of human arm using real time image processing. It is kind of master-slave control methodology where slave i.e. robotic arm synchronously replicates the motion of master i.e. human arm. The arm is tele-operated i.e. wirelessly operated. There will be no wired connection between human arm and the robotic arm, which allows us to operate it in the wide range of upto 30 m irrespective of any disturbance. This paper gives a proper guidance to control a robotic arm (prototype of exact human arm) using real time image processing and is supported by the MATLAB codes, components and layout.
