Abstract
The article presents the development of an automated smart humanoid robot hand on the Arduino platform using 3D printing, servo drives, and a sensor glove with flexible sensors. An electrical circuit and a software module for reading and processing signals have been developed, which provides real-time reproduction of the operator's finger movements. Modelling, assembly of mechanical and electronic parts, calibration of sensors and actuators have been carried out. Experimental studies have confirmed the accuracy, speed, and stability of the system, which makes it suitable for educational and demonstration robotics applications.
