Project 1 Synopsis

This document describes a gesture controlled robotic arm that uses accelerometers to detect natural human arm movements. The robotic arm is designed to pick up and place hazardous or distant objects by replicating a human arm's motions. It uses an Arduino Nano, servo motors, a gyroscope, flex sensors, and other hardware. The gyroscope acquires data on the user's arm positions and orientations. This input is processed to control the robotic arm's movements accordingly. Potential applications include handling dangerous materials, bomb disposal, remote operations, and industrial pick-and-place tasks.

Abstract
In today’s world there is an increasing need to create artificial arms
for different inhuman situations where human interaction is difficult
or impossible. They may involve taking readings from an active
volcano to diffusing a bomb. Here we propose to build a Gesture
controlled robotic arm by natural human arm movements whose
data is acquired through the use of accelerometers. For proper
control mechanism and to reduce the amount of noise coming in
from the sensor’s, proper averaging algorithm is used for
smoothening the output of the accelerometer. The development of
this arm is based on Arduino Nano, which will all be interfaced with
each other using serial communication. Finally, this prototype of the
arm may be expected to overcome the problem such as placing or
picking hazardous objects or non-hazardous objects that are far away
from the user.

Introduction
Nowadays, robots are increasingly being integrated into working tasks to
replace humans specially to perform the repetitive task. In general,
robotics can be divided into two areas, industrial and service robotics.
International Federation of Robotics (IFR) defines a service robot as a
robot which operates semi- or fully autonomously to perform services
useful to the well- being of humans and equipment, excluding
manufacturing operations. These robots are currently used in many fields
of applications including office, military tasks, hospital operations,
dangerous environment and agriculture. Besides, it might be difficult or
dangerous for humans to do some specific tasks like picking up explosive
chemicals, defusing bombs or in worst case scenario to pick and place the
bomb somewhere for containment and for repeated pick and place action
in industries. Therefore, a robot can be replaced human to do work.

Robotic Arm Defination: - A robotic arm is a robot manipulator,


usually programmable, with similar functions to a human arm. The links of
such a manipulator are connected by joints allowing either rotational
motion (such as in an articulated robot) or translational (linear)
displacement. The links of the manipulator can be considered to form a
kinematic chain. The business end of the kinematic chain of the manipulator
is called the end effectors and it is analogous to the human hand. The end
effectors can be designed to perform any desired task such as welding,
gripping, spinning etc., depending on the application. The robot arms can be
autonomous or controlled manually and can be used to perform a variety of
tasks with great accuracy. The robotic arm can be fixed or mobile (i.e.,
wheeled) and can be designed for industrial or home applications. This
report deals with a robotic arm whose objective is to imitate the
movements of a human arm using Gyroscope MPu6050 (accelerometer) as
sensors for the data acquisition of the natural arm movements. This method
of control allows greater flexibility in controlling the robotic arm rather than
using a controller where each actuator is controlled separately. The
processing unit takes care of each actuator’s control signal according to the
inputs from accelerometer, in order to replicate the movements of the
human arm

Block Diagram
Gesture controlled robot moves according to the user’s hand
movement recognized by the device in our hand. When we
tilt hand in front side, the robot starts to moving forward and
continues moving forward until the next command is given.
When we tilt hand in the backside, the robot changes its
state and start moving in the backwards direction until
another command is given. When we tilt it towards the left
side, it will turn left till next command. When we tilt our hand
in right side robot is turned to the right
Application Area:
The application of the accelerometer-based gesture-
controlled robot include
These robots are used in military applications to operate
robots
These robots are used in medical applications for the purpose
of surgery
These robots are used in industries to control trolly and lift.
