Project Goal
The goal of this project was to create a teleoperated robotic arm controlled through human gestures, paired with a bioplastic soft gripper. The focus was on translating intuitive hand movements into robotic motion and grip, while opting for sustainable materials.
Research Direction
This project marks the beginning of a research direction into soft robotics, bioplastics, and robotics interfaces. It acts as an initial test bed to explore bio-materials, control systems, and gesture-driven actuation.
