Abstract: Dangerous work environments, like nuclear reactors and chemical plants, pose a threat to human life by the ways of injuries or fatalities. Robo Arm is a simple and highly cost efficient electromechanical model, which copies a human being’s hand movements. It is controlled remotely via an infrared beam, which is generated by using infrared light emitting diodes, which sense a human being’s hand movements. This circuit has been designed to emulate two dimensional hand movements successfully. The actions which can be mimicked include a forward and backward motion as well as a grabbing action is achieved using electromagnets.
