Vision Based Voice Controlled Robotic Arm for Handling Dental Equipments

Abstract

This project outlines vision based, voice commanded robotic system pertaining to dental tools aiming at improving the quality and hygiene of dental services. Real time computer vision is performed using OpenCV on a Raspberry Pi with webcam and voice recognition through Google Speech API with microphone. The robot knows what kind of dental instruments are needed and picks the dental instruments on its own when the dentist says so, thus minimizing contact. The application also promotes working conditions concerning tools that involves accurate positioning and holding a tool by providing real- time visual feedback of the tools. This method enhances the instrument reachorgization, enhances the cleanness, and it enables the continuation of dental operations without frequently interruption.
