  • Abstract
    A physically disabled person nourishing himself was considered as a great deed in the 19th century. But this age has become an era where talents are considered as the matter of fact, in spite of their physical weakness. Here is a newfangled technology, through which a robot imitates human handwriting and acts as a proxy during strenuous circumstances. What the robot does is that, it acts according to the voice commands imposed on it, thereby fulfilling the physical ailment of the needy. Writing is brought by feeding a particular style in the form of images, which is stored as fonts in its memory. This not only assists disabled persons, but also supports people who need a proxy for their hand writing. When a particular font is fed, it writes what was dictated, thereby, acting as a human hand. This methodology that has been proposed here is much practical and the design shows improved efficiency.
