Project Title:

Sensor-Controlled Robotic Hand With Haptic Feedback

Supervisor:

Dr.Choi Loretta

Students:

Chor Hon LAW

Abstract:

Many different types of Robots are invented in order to perform dangerous tasks in place of humans. However, in many cases, human workers are still being sent to hazardous environments, seeing as how current robots are not capable of performing complicated tasks.

This website describes the design, implementation and evaluation of the Haphand, a sensor controlled robotic hand that provide haptic feedback. Control over a robotic hand would obviously be most intuitive to the user when actual hand gestures and movements are closely mirrored by the robotic appendage, and this could be achieved with the use of sensor gloves.

Haptic feedback also provides more information to the user other than mere visual output, and these features in tandem will allow the robotic hand to handle far more complicated tasks and replace humans in more dangerous scenarios.
