Project Summary

The loss of hand can be a very treumatic experience to a person. Prosthetic are devices that can help restore some of the functionality of an organ. So our main aim is to build a low cost prosthetic hand for amputees and physically challenged people.  Artifical hand comprises of two parts, one is electronic glove with sensors and other is mechanical hand that will be controlled through electronic glove. Electronic glove has flex sensors, gyrosensor for the movement of fingers and wrist. The mechanical hand operated through servo motors, that drives the motors and as a result fingers will move. The RF module is used between glove and mechanical hand to communicate wirelessly under 100m.

The project has many application like for amputees, may used in industries where robotic hand is required. 

Project Objectives

The main objective of our project is to build a low cost prosthetic hand for amputees and physically challenged people.

Also our objective is to utilized our work in robotics. The main concern is also robotic industry. 

Project Implementation Method

First of all, we brought the u assemble 3D printed hand from Lahore. After this, we assembled every joints and gave it a proper hand shape. Then we worked on electronic glove, the glove was ready to put on sensor, the sensor we have used are flex sensor and gyrosensor. After this,, we worked on programming in arduino for electronic glove and mechanical hand. The mechanical hand works on servo motors, so we programmed using arduino to run servo motors. After this, RF module was used to send data wirelessly. Final testing was done and have completed our project. 

Benefits of the Project

The main benefit  of project is for amputees and disable persons.  It can be used in industries where robotic is involved. As a surgeon, it can be used for surgery in damage area. It can be used in fire places. 

Technical Details of Final Deliverable

The project has main parts are : the flex sensors gyrosensor, servo motors, 3D printed hand, RF module(Hc-11) . Flex sensor are used for the movements of fingers while gyrosensor are used for wrist motion. These sensors are used in golve. Servo motors are plugged in mechanical hand to drive the fingers and wrist motion. While RF module is used to communicate between glove and mechanical hand wirelessly. It has range about 40m indoor while in open place, it's range is 80 to 90m.
