Humanoid Animatronic Robotic Hand

Project Title

Humanoid Animatronic Robotic Hand

Project Area of Specialization Electrical/Electronic EngineeringProject Summary

Wireless animatronic hand is basically a robotic hand which is implemented by using a latest wireless technology. Intension of this product is to help/get involved in many of the industries where human hand is must to complete the required task; but it may harm human skin or bones. Here, instead of using actual human hand, we can replace it by this wireless robotic hand. We may allow this robotic hand to complete the same task so that the risk will be avoided and obviously, required task can be achieved. For example, during bomb diffusing operation in defense field, this Animatronic hand can be mounted on a moving platform along with a camera to diffuse the bomb from a safer distance without any harm to humanlife . Also this hand can help dumb and deaf people to interact with sign languages. The sign language instructions can be stored in the microcontroller and this hand can easily interact with dumb and deaf people. Also this hand can help paralysis patients who can’t move their hand by proving a electronic hand which can work on voice commands of the bearer and enables the user perform various tasks like grab something, switch on something etc.

Project Objectives

Design a  hand that  can help paralysis patients who can’t move their hand by provding a electronic hand which can work Wirelessly by using other hand reflection or Voice Command.

Project Implementation Method

First we design the Animatronic Hand  after that we design a Wearable Glove which include the Flex sensor for the Humand hand which send the humand hand Action to the Animatronic hand by Xbee Module 

Benefits of the Project

it can help during bomb diffusing operation in defense field, this Animatronic hand can be mounted on a moving platform along with a camera to diffuse the bomb from a safer distance without any harm to humanlife . Also this hand can help dumb and deaf people to interact with sign languages. The sign language instructions can be stored in the microcontroller and this hand can easily interact with dumb and deaf people. Also this hand can help paralysis patients who can’t move their hand by proving a electronic hand which can work on voice commands of the bearer and enables the user perform various tasks like grab something, switch on something etc.

Technical Details of Final Deliverable

Arduino UNO:

         Arduino UNO is Atmega-328 based microcontroller board. It is very simple and powerfull board with ISP mode. . It has total 14 pins including analog and digital pins. There are 6 PWM(Pulse Width Modulation) output pins on this board. Also, it has 6 analog inputs, a USB connection, a power jack, a 16 MHz ceramic capacitor, an ICSP header and a reset button.

Flex Sensor:

These devices are used to measure the bending in the finger by change in the resistance. As the bending angle increases , the resistance increases and this variable resistance is converted into voltage by a voltage divider network and given to ADC for digital conversion.

Xbee Module:

XBEE is a wireless communication module that Digi built to the 802.15.4/Zigbee standards. These modules use the IEEE 802.15.4 networking protocol for fast point-to-multipoint or peer-to-peer networking. They are designed for high-throughput applications requiring low latency and predictable communicating timing,

HS-55 Microservo Motor:

A rotary actuator that allows for a precise control of velocity, acceleration as well as an angular position is known as a servomotor. Servomotor is a motor suitable for use in a closed loop control system. It includes suitable motor coupled to a sensor to get a position feedback. To handle the finger movements and rotations, micro servo motors are being used in this project.
