Abstract

This research is focused to help people who have problems to move their bodies or do not have enough force to move it and support them in their quotidian live to they have an easier way to reach objects with an easier control which move a robot arm faster. To achieve this, this article presents a proposed algorithmic that allows design a new way of mechanism on robotics arm with three rotations joins which allows makes it is faster and adjustable. This proposed algorithm includes a new form to get the kinematics of an anthropomorphic robot using an LCD touch screen and a new way to control a robotic arm with only one finger, with less effort and touching it. This algorithm was tested in Matlab to finding the faster way to get a point and was tested in Arduino to prove it with the pressure sensor on the LCD touch screen.
