Abstract:

In recent times there is an increasing need for robots for operating in different inhumane situations. They may involve collecting data from harsh environments, military use, to carrying out maintenance work on space stations. The use of such robots requires skilled personnel as the controllers used are not human friendly. Here we propose to build a human arm interface which can read and process data to be further used by the controlling robots through the use of liner carbon potentiometers. For proper control and to reduce the noise coming from the potentiometers we use an averaging algorithm to smoothen out the output. This data can then be used to control various robots by further mapping the inputs and outputs. Finally, this interface is expected to reduce human efforts in controlling robots.
