The term IoT, or Internet of Things, refers to a collective network of connected devices and technology that enables communication between devices and the cloud. Arduino microcontroller: An Arduino microcontroller can be used to read data from the flex sensors and control the mechanical arm accordingly. Bluetooth: A Bluetooth module can be used to connect the mechanical arm to a smartphone or tablet. The flex sensors can be connected to an Arduino microcontroller, which can then transmit the data directly to the smartphone or tablet. Machine learning: Machine learning algorithms can be used to recognize patterns in the data collected from the flex sensors. Gesture control: A camera or other motion sensing device can be used to detect the user's hand movements and translate them into commands. We are going with Arduino microcontroller technology as it helps us to modify and is very flexible to use with a variety of different sensors and actuators and the range can be extended. The problem with Bluetooth is that it has a limited range and transmission speed and machine learning requires high computational power and gesture control using a camera is not very accurate. We are proposing to create a human-like mechanical arm from the tip of fingers to shoulders which will have similar movements to that of the human arm. We can control the mechanical arm using servo motors as actuators which will receive input from the flex sensor present on the glove worn by the human. flex sensor will be mapped to the respective servo motor and a change in angle of flex sensor will trigger the change in servo motor. Arduino microcontrollers are directly connected to control the servo motors and collect data from the sensors.
