Gesture Controlled Robotic Arm Using Leap Motion (P-0349) (MFN 8550)

Abstract

A 3D printable design for a gesture control non-prosthetic arm is introduced. The arm is controlled and electronically actuated by a user flexing his/her muscles. The non-prosthetic robotic arm introduced has the capability to be used by a surgeon as a surgical tool or can be used in any hazardous environment. This arm type does inhabit although it is very costly and not easily available inside most of the developing countries. Rapid growth and advancement of the 3D printing trade permits people to become little scale makers. Recent advancements show 3D written prosthetic arms being hooked up to victims of war throughout geographical region. These sorts of devices are strictly mechanical as well as considerably less complicated than gesture control and my electric devices. However, we are able to see that such 3D written devices have the prospective to completely impact lives of people. 3D printing will have its restrictions however growth and evolution within the area can solely result in enhancements over time. The topic in this thesis envelopes
