Abstract :
Hand tracking system gets so much attention in recent time because of its great applications. This method can be implemented by so many techniques. Here we show a straight forward technique of tracking the human hand using the robotic arm. This paper shows the interfacing of human hand using robot arm. With this method the robotic hand can be controlled using human hand. Its demonstration is done by using image processing technique to detect different colors at different axis of human hand. This technique is very useful since it takes real time video of hand and tracks it to get interface with robotic arm. A laptop camera will get the video and track the RGB (red, green and blue) colors at different axis of hand denoting X and Y axis. Tracking of such hand will interface the controller with robotic arm. The main aim behind this approach to program a robotic arm, so that it should be controlled by human hand and will reach the locations where human will not be able to reach and do the given task by direct interfacing with human hand. In this we can see the real time movement of robotic arm.
