  • Abstract
    The increasing demand for physical interaction between humans and robots has led to the development of biorobotic hands that guarantee safe behavior. Biorobotic hands are originally designed for intended use in a wide variety of industrial and automation tasks. This paper reports the design, construction, and testing of a replica of the human arm which aims to be dynamically as well as kinematically accurate. The delivered device tries to resemble the movement of biological human hand by tracking its fingers and wrist trajectories. The motion is sensed by flex sensors, processed by Arduino, and the movement is then synchronized to the artificial hand via servo motors. Patients that suffer from amputee below the elbow can benefit from this biorobotic arm.
