My Goals
For this project I designed a robot arm that mirrored the movements of my hand while wearing a glove. I wanted to gain a better understanding of using multiple analog inputs to control servos, and I thought an application of a robot arm would be interesting, combined with my 3D printing skills. These sensors would include a flex (resistive band) and motion sensor (MPU6050). The robot arm would be controlled by servos at four different joints, to mimic the movements of a real arm. A glove with both the flex and motion sensor were made to control the robot, with wires attached to them with enough length to allow full range of motion.
