Here’s a video of a student who had designed a limited yet functional electronic arm – This video was recorded amongst other projects at the FAST-NU Procom 2010. Are you thinking of practical applications for the Arm in industry terms, then listen to what this young student has to say!

@Ma’am Rabia: We’ve shown this to some parties with its more improved form [In video this is made on vero board with THT (Through Hole Technology) devices, now we have made fabricated Double Layer PCB (Printed Circuit Board) with SMDs (Surface Mount Devices) on it], hope will hear good news soon. Secondly by Allah’s grace my this project research paper has been accepted for publication and presentation in IEEE Int’l Conference (http://www.student2010.org) in Malaysia.
Thanks Saqib – Any idea if this is being or has been used by any hospitals here locally? It not, how do you suggest students take this to market?

The product of this research is an ELECTRONIC SPEAKING GLOVE which has been made for speechless patients. Through a mere finger gesture the patient can convey their message to others, especially the doctor. Generally, the speechless person communicates through sign language which is difficult for many to understand. The project is designed to solve this problem. It speaks according to the gesture. A particular gesture inside the glove carries a specific meaning, having flex sensors which are made up of “band-sensitive resistance elements”. They produce a proportional change in resistance, which simultaneously changes the voltage. The processing of this information sends a unique signal to the AVR microcontroller which is programmed to speak-out desired sentences.
