Abstract

In today’s modern world, robotic technology has been used widely as a mean to ease both repeated and complicated task. The technology is in demand by industries as it can execute any task with precision. However, to create a robotic machine requires extensive knowledge in programming to make it specific for everyone to operate it. The project is focusing on controlling a robotic arm by using human’s hand gesture. Therefore, by using Kinect technology, the robotic arm will be easy to be handled by everyone as it requires no programming to operate. Real-Time Human-Machine Interaction For Robotic Arm is designed by applying the Kinect v1 technology which implements Natural User Interface (NUI). The Kinect sensor is connected to a computer, as a platform to monitor the hand gesture captured by the sensor. The robotic arm will imitate the user’s arm movements by using the depth algorithm created in Processing 3 software. In this project, Processing 3 is used as the main programming tools as it compatible with Kinect sensor and at the same time can be linked to Arduino microcontroller. Experimental work were conducted to validate the communication between software and hardware.
