Abstract

Robotic hands create safe working environment especially in industries and eventually help to avoid injuries in handling hazardous items or objects. The importance of doing this project is to come out a hand that able to handle object better for industry. The early design of this gripper has only 2 fingers where the tendency of slippage might occurs in which accident or unwanted things may happen. The significant of doing this project is to create an animatronic hand via glove that can substitute real human hand and reduce the tendency of slippage where it eventually reduce accidents. Thus, the ideas of highly accurate tele-operated 14 DOF animatronic hand that able to handle items or objects well and the ability to imitate human hand is proposed. The experiment will be analysed in terms of tele-operation accuracy and repeatability which will be carried out in lab. In this project, this tele-operated animatronic hand will have 5 fingers and have the ability to copy human hand movement. Plastic is used to fabricate this hand and flex sensor will be used to sense the movement of human hand. The expected result of this project is that the design hand is able to imitate the real human hand with a high accuracy value of 85.32% for pinky finger, 89.25% for ring finger, 89.83% middle finger, 91.03% index finger and 90.34% thumb. In conclusion, the tele-operated animatronic hand accuracy can be achieved by increasing the length of the crank and is verified in the accuracy test. Thus, the objectives are achieved.
