Diseño y construcción de una mano robótica para la enseñanza del alfabeto dactilológico universal para personas sordomudas

Abstract

The prototype's main objective is to help people with learning of hearing loss, by designing and building a robotic hand capable of performing the signs of finger spelling and interact with a person by recognizing signals captured by a webcam which will be processed in real time by means of the use of Labview 2009 - National Instruments vision development plataform. The robotic hand is composed by 17 actuators to achieve the grades movements and able to make a sign. Its applications are countless since the prototype is developed modularly so each partcan be used in other systems such as image recognition, servo control, mechanical systems and the prototype itself can be used in: prostheses development of prostheses, objeect manipulation through sensorial gloves handling, the study of the biometrical signals of the hand and so on.
