Abstract

Today's technology has increased the interest in robotic systems and
increase the number of studies realized in this area.  There are many studies on robotic systems in
several fields to facilitate human life in the literature. In this study, a
robot hand is designed to repeat finger movements depending upon flexible
sensors mounted on any wearable glove. In the literature, various sensors that
detect the finger movement are used. The sensor that detects the angle of the
fingers has been shown to provide high accuracy although cheap in present
research. Moreover, by entering the sensor data into the open source interface
program called Blender 3D, it can be seen on the program how the hand of the
robot moves. Thanks to the prototype of robotic hand in this study is developed
with different materials and mechanisms, it is possible to carry out experimental
studies at low cost in places where it is unsuitable for human health and
safety. The angle data on the sensors and servo motor position information are
transmitted through the RF 433 MHz wireless module. The determinations related
to robot hand control are performed with Arduino card.
