Microcontroller based robotic arm: Operational to gesture and automated mode

Robotics has been a tremendous successful field of research in last few decades. Regarding the development of robotics, many developed robotic arm has been deployed in industrial purposes like automation, sophisticated fabrication etc. This paper is an initiative to patronize the robotic arm for hazardous situation people who can use his hand to move object within certain range to carry out that job. This project is meant to designing and developing of a microcontroller (ATmega) based robotic arm. The project delivers a combined implementation of Electrical, Electronic as well as Mechanical gen. The robotic arm responds to the gesture as well as can be programmed to go along a definite path and task. The system senses the movement of user´s arm and robotic arm replicates the given input gesture. The gesture is sensed by a number of potentiometers which are embedded onto a glove or other structural attachment. The movement in potentiometer determines the position for the servo motors driving the parts of the arm.
