SMART GLOVE-CAPABLE ROBOT

Abstract

Internet of Things (IOT) technologies are developing rapidly and finding applications in every industry today. As more and more people from more and more places start using IoT, the notion is rapidly evolving. The term "Internet of Things" is often used to describe the practise of linking together electronic gadgets that include sensors, software, modules, etc., in order to share data wirelessly. There's no denying that IoT is a cutting-edge advancement in today's technological landscape, what with how it's streamlining processes and automating tasks. There are older persons who live alone and are unable to communicate effectively with their families. Thus, a channel for their message must be found. More and more crimes, including murder, sexual assault, kidnapping, trafficking in women, etc., are being committed every day in our uncivilised and unsafe society. Therefore, there has to be measures in place to ensure the security of females. In order to ensure the safety of women and the elderly, we have recommended developing a BOT using IOT. There are thus two components to the project, and the Bot supports both of them. The "Smart Gloves" are the glue that keeps the rest of the BOT's gear together (ultrasonic sensors, flex sensors, Bluetooth modules, motors, etc.). The Bot is equipped with 4 storage compartments to hold the necessary supplies. The project is divided into two parts: the first details how the bot assists the elderly by using the Smart Gloves, while the second discusses the implementation of the Smart Gloves for women's protection and security. The elderly wear SMART GLOVES linked to flex sensors in the first scenario. The IoT-based bot is a finger-gesture driven bot that glides back and forth in response to the elderly person's precise finger motions.
The bot features storage compartments for consumables like food, medicine, water, etc., as was previously indicated. When a user puts on the smart gloves and uses hand gestures to communicate with the robot, the robot will go to the location where the user wants the item to be delivered. Without the need for the old person to make any physical or vocal adjustments, the Bot will be able to reach out to them based on the information sent to it through the figure motions shown to the camera. We are also attempting to use the smart gloves to ensure the safety of women in the second scenario. Connected to a buzzer, the Smart Gloves sound an alarm at the first sign of an inappropriate touch, giving bystanders a chance to intervene before the victim's loved ones or the police arrive. The Smart Gloves would play a crucial role in these critical circumstances, perhaps saving the lives of women. It would be a little gesture toward helping the ladies who, in today's impolite society, must deal with a great deal of difficulty? We utilise Arduino, an open-source microcontroller, to programme the bot for the bot's motions, and Arduino IDE, also open-source, is used to dump the programme to Arduino. Using Internet of Things technology, this bot would be fully autonomous, helping the elderly acquire their basic needs and protecting women in perilous circumstances.
