Design and Development ofa Mirror Effect Control Prosthetic Hand with Force Sensing
Abstract: Some of the already
available prosthetic hands in the market are operated in open loop, withoutany
feedback and expensive. This system counters those by having the prosthetic
hand printed using 3Dprinter and consist of a feedback sensor to make it a
closed loop system. The system generally consists oftwo sections, mainly Finger
Input and Prosthetic Output. The two sections communicate wirelessly for data transferring.
The main purpose of the system is to control the prosthetic hand wirelessly
using the Mirror Glove by performing a mirror effect that will translate
movement from the glove onto the prosthetic hand. The Mirror Glove monitors the
movements/bending of each fingers using force sensitive sensor. The prosthetic
hand also has a sensor known as force sensitive resistor. The sensors will
feedback the pressure on the prosthetic hand during object grasping, allowing
the prosthetic hand to grasp delicate object without damaging it. Overall, the
system will imitate the flex and relaxing of fingers inside the Mirror Glove
and wirelessly control distant prosthetic hand to imitate the human hand.
