ABSTRACT :
In few years ROBOTS are going to rule the universe. Especially in medical field, man
power is reduced by replacing robots.
EXISTING SYSTEM : In the existing system, human hand movements is sensed by the robot
through sensors and it imitates the same, but this is made possible by placing the sensor in the
accelerometer and which is to be carried by the person(users hand).As the person moves his/her
hand , the accelerometer also moves accordingly which in turn displaces the sensor and this sensor
senses the parameter according to the position of hand and this sensed parameter are given to the
sensors placed in robotic arm which makes the movements of robot arm accordingly.

PROBLEM IDENTIFIED :The drawback faced in this system is, accelerometer should
be always carried by the person and also it cannot be applicable for longer distances.

PROPOSED SYSTEM : Inorder to overcome these drawbacks, we go in for this

proposed system.In this system, a gesture driven robotic arm is developed, in which the
arm movements and manipulations depends on the gesture of the user. In this system,
gesture is captured by camera and it is processed by LABVIEW software and the
parameters are sent to PC.It is then transmitted (transmitter section) by ZIGBEE
transmitter. In the receiver section, the ZIGBEE receiver holds the received parameters
and process with ARM7 microcontroller and gives those parameters to the robotic arm to
make it act accordingly to the gesture. By this system,it is possible to achieve long
distance processing. This system is purposely developed to apply in medical field for
nursing assistance to physicians and in surgeries. And in the receiver section a wireless
camera is placed to monitor the performance of robot arm and also in patient side(Robot
arm side)5 vital parameters (ECG, Respiration rate, Pulse rate,Temperature, Heart beat)
of patient is monitored. This is a preventive measure in case of any imbalance in victims
metabolism(temperature,pressure,heart rate), ALARM in transmitter section(physician
side) will be ringing , which inturn brings into notice of physician that patient is in some
critical situation, so that the physician immediately stops the action of robotic arm and he
will inform the nearby doctors to take care of patient. This robotic arm developed is to
reduce man power in medical field, take care of patient in absence of
specialist/surgeon and to impart the robotic in medical areas.
HARDWRE TOOLS REQUIRED:
Zigbee
ARM7 Microcontroller
Wireless Camera
Driver IC ( ULN 2803 )
Buffer
Alarm

APPLICATIONS :
