The project goal was to design a working model of a human palm which replicates its motion and controls using a video feed from camera.

Using pose estimation, first we detect all the joints and segments and generate a heat map. Using these positions, we calculate the joint angles with change in position and these angles are transmitted to an arduino via serial transfer. The arduino, maps these angles to its corresponding motor angle. Now, as the motor rotates, the finger bends similar to a human finger in a direction depending upon the direction of rotation of the motor.
