Tele-Operation of Robotic Arm

Abstract

This research is for facilitate the healthcare worker to approach patient that located in distant areas via internet. Also, patient need not to get to the city to see a doctor. Hence, this research will reduce time and cost of traveling. This research is to create tele-control robot arm, use in the operating room, which is controlled by joystick from anywhere. It is separated into 2 parts that is hardware part to design and print 3D robot arm and joystick and software part, which is code to control robot arm also send controlling data via internet. Furthermore, this project will send real-time video from robot arm to controller side. The data is sent between robot arm and joystick by nodeMCU or in this project use two ESP32, one will receive data from joystick and send the data to another for control robot arm. In the section of sending real-time video, this project use Raspberry pi as a device for sending.
