Abstract
SMART Robotic Palm is developed to mimic the motion of a human thumb, fingers, and palm. This paper proposes embedded technology-driven electromechanical setup capable of imitating human palm gestures and movements with the use of electronics. This setup is capable of generating voltage corresponding to motion of fingers and then feeding it to the controller in the transmitting glove, which translates the voltage values to angles (in degrees). The angle values (or the value change) are transmitted to the Cloud-based Internet of Things platform using transmitter controller’s Wi-Fi capability via the Internet in form of data packets. The receiver end or the artificial robotic palm’s controller receives these angle values in real time to duplicate and replicate this motion or imitation. The SMART Robotic Palm’s dexterity and its finesse in imitation of motion is achieved using linear potentiometers, NodeMCU DEVKIT 1.0 as the Internet of Things platform which consists of ESP8266EX as its microcontroller and the servo motors in the robotic palm’s fingers actuating motion. More precise control and motion shall be useful in numerous applications especially in the health sector for performing surgeries remotely in critical and/or emergency situations.
