Cutting-Edge Robotic Arm Design: Harnessing Flex Sensors and Novel Controller Framework to Meet Real-World Innovations

This research paper introduces a sophisticated arm movement tracking system, leveraging a multi-sensor fusion approach for enhanced precision and versatility. The comprehensive system comprises various components, including a dedicated cabinet, six Leap Motion sensors, six microcomputers, a Kinect depth camera, a KVM switcher, a router, and flex sensors. In addition to the aforementioned components, the integration of flex sensors enhances the system's capability to capture nuanced movements and gestures of the human arm. Flex sensors contribute valuable data to the multi-sensor fusion, further refining the arm movement tracking and providing a comprehensive understanding of the intricacies involved. By quantifying the Root Mean Square Error (RMSE) for each filtering technique, including the data from flex sensors, we gained valuable insights into the accuracy and precision achieved by Particle Filtering in refining data from the specified angles. This approach ensures a thorough validation of Particle Filtering's superior performance when compared to Existing filtering Methods. The systematic evaluation of RMSE serves as a robust method for assessing the effectiveness of Particle Filtering, affirming its potential as a high-performing solution for precise angle estimation and tracking within the context of the presented arm movement tracking system that incorporates flex sensors.
