AN OPERATOR-ASSISTED ROBOTIC ARM IMPLEMENTATION VIA LEAP MOTION CONTROLLER

Year 2017, Volume: 7 Issue: 1, 84 - 93, 31.10.2017

Abstract



It is obvious that the medical, military and industry are the sectors
which mostly benefit from the technological developments. Innovations and
improvements about robotic technology find place in these listed sectors
directly or indirectly. For example, in a medical application; touches of the
robotic fingers can be sensed by human through electrodes which are located
into the brain. In military field, vehicles with robotic arm can do
searching/destruction activities in dangerous areas. On the other hand, in
industrial field robotic arm technology is used in manufactural activities
frequently. In this practical application, it is purposed that sensing of
motions and carrying over to the robotic arm without auxiliary instrument apart
from the Leap MotionTM Controller (LMC). In this way, an application that imitates human arm and hand motions
has been developed. This study has specific features which can be used for
various purposes in medical, military and industrial fields. Furthermore, it
contributes an innovative approach to operator-assisted robotic arm technology.
