Electronic simulation of the control of a sub-actuated robotic hand

Abstract

The present study has as principal objective to simulate the control of sub-actuated robotic hand, using resistive sensors capable of interpreting finger movements and converting them into electrical signals, sending them to a central controller. This research aims to develop a biomechanical prototype capable of efficiently controlling devices and equipment at a distance, applying theoretical concepts of the Mechatronic. This situation is discussed because of the difficulty of accurately replicating the movements with the highest degree of mimicry of the human hand, in order to get as close to reality, generating the need to use a more complex architecture and with a high cost. Initially, only the control of the signals emitted to the microcontroller will be analyzed, in order to classify them in a scale and, later, to execute specific movements of the motors. Several tests were carried out to validate the effectiveness of the application of the mechanism, whose results were satisfactory, allowing, in parallel, the better development and understanding of the interdisciplinary didactic methodology, besides affirming the relevance and scientific value of the project in future applications.
