Hello All ,
Iam working on a project that aims to control a robotic arm by replicating the human arm movements.
Iam stuck on how to capture the human arm gripping action and transmit it to the robotic arm.
Appreciate any tips or helpful info.
Regards

    Hello Tom ,
    The video is very valuable.
    It looks a solution for my problem , but i need more technical details on the gripper control unit which i could not find.
    I wonder where i can find such technical details.

    Wissam Ch.,

    The control unit consists of a number of pots, one on each axis of motion, and a digitizer that converts the voltage on the pot wiper to a corresponding digital value that can be read by a PC or mircocontroller.

    Here is a link to how the control unit is put together: http://www.endurance-robotics.com/page.aspx?id=4

    A link to the digitizer is here: http://www.endurance-rc.com/analogreader.html

    Hope this helps.

    Here's the link to my thread on a robotic hand. It may give some ideas.

    Hi Wissam Ch,
    Today the most industrial company uses the automated machines for fast production. I have information on robotic machines, here you got all the information on automated machines and also robotic arm.
