DEVELOPING MULTI-DEGREES OF FREEDOM OF DEXTEROUS HUMANOID ROBOTIC HAND

A humanoid robot is a robot with its overall appearance based on that of the
human body. In general humanoid robots have a torso with a head, two arms and two
legs, although some forms of humanoid robots may model only part of the body, for
example, from the waist up. Usually humanoid robots are used as a research tool in
several scientific areas.
As for Final Year Project (FYP), humanoid robotic hand is build to handle the hazardous
products such as radioactive elements. During the research and fabrication, there maybe
serve for other purposes as well. The immediate objective of the project is as follows: I)
To design the humanoid robotic hand with multi-Degrees of Freedom; 2) To test the
conceptual mechanism of the movement finger; and 3) To fabricate the humanoid
robotic hand.
To ensure the project works within the scope, the methodology of the project is flowed:
Identify the problems, Literature review, Conceptual mechauism, Designing, Simulation,
Fabrication, Testing, Analysis and Discussion, and Documentation.
The humanoid robotic hand is tested to grasp the objects. Although it is not successfully
grasp the objects, it can demonstrate the basic movement and grasping. In addition, the
fingers of the robotic hand can be bending individually. As a conclusion, the outcome of
the project is all of the objectives are met and the humanoid robotic hand is fabricated.
