Abstract

This paper offers an intensive outline of prosthetic mechanical arms, with specific regard for control frameworks, detecting innovations, and grasping methodologies. To work on the usefulness of prosthetic mechanical arms, various examinations have been directed in this area. Automated arms that are mechanical or prosthetic are intended to perform like real human hands in various settings, including clinical and modern ones. Starting with the format and development of each arm compartment, the prosthetic mechanical arm was intended to satisfy its expected job. The implementation strategy and system control/architecture are based on validated experimental findings that show the main focus should be on the study's conclusion. Researchers find it difficult to aim for the ideal design that is similar to a human hand; even though each developed prosthetic robotic arm differed from the others in terms of the technology employed and purpose. This is especially true when it comes to the practicality of the device that is, whether it can perform routine tasks that regular arm viability of developing inexpensive robotic prosthesis utilizing 3D-printable technology. Microcontrollers were used to regulate the rotation of each servomotor, while servomotors functioned as actuators to control finger motions. The goal was to show that it was feasible to use 3D printing technology to create a working prototype of a controlled hand as a first step toward the creation of an affordable prosthesis that might help low-income individuals with impairments. A technology that allows a genuine 3D robotic arm and a simulated robotic arm to be controlled continuously by human voice commands.
