Our goal is to design and fabricate a robotic arm with a hand that mimic operator's motion which means finger, wrist, and arm movements are reproduced. The robotic arm could be controlled by a glove with flex sensors, rotary encoders, and transceiver mounted on it. This method for controlling is more intuitive than others, the only thing that the operator would need to do is make movements with hands.

The Robot Hand
The robot hand, just like human hand, has three joints on each finger and five fingers in total except for the thumb finger which has additional one joint. Five servo motors are employed to individually control each finger to simulate human hand movements. Because of less cost and rapid processing time, the fingers and palm were entirely fabricated using 3D printing technology which uses acrylonitrile butadiene styrene (ABS) as material.
