Abstract

The evolution of information technologies has increased and improved the interaction between human beings and computers. Nowadays, there are inventions to enhance computer system to allow detection of human motion. As evidence, hand gesture motion sensor is one of the innovative products which allow the communication between these two parties. The aim of this project is to design and construct a hand gesture motion sensor controlled robotic arm system. Globally, robotic system becomes more popular and is utilized in a wide range of areas. However, most systems are handled by traditional input method such as keyboard, mouse and controller or being preprogrammed. Hence, the new approach of operating robotic system by hand gesture will subsequently be proposed as an alternative method of controlling system without the necessity of controller or preprogrammed. The purpose of this project is to develop a simple robotic arm system and interface it with the Leap Motion Controller, as the hand gesture motion sensor. The process of design and construct of a robotic arm system will be presented in this thesis. Besides that, the method used to interface the Leap Motion Controller for communication with robotic arm system will be demonstrated and discussed. A robotic arm prototype was successfully implemented and controllable by hand gesture and the results are recorded in this thesis.
