    This project is developed to eliminate the using of the bare hands for handling any kind of risky item which are harmful for our own hand. For some time, we have been interested in making some sort of robot based on the Arduino platform. This project is the first phase of this longer-term desired effort. Anything is possible with the mighty power of Arduino. It's compact, it's straightforward, and makes embedding electronics into the world-at-large fun and easy. Animatronics is the use of mechatronics to create machines which seem animate rather than robotic. Animatronic figures are most often powered by pneumatics (compressed air), and, in special instances, hydraulics (pressurized oil), or by electrical means. The figures are precisely customized with the exact dimensions and proportions of living creatures. Motion actuators are often used to imitate “muscle” movements, such as limbs to create realistic motions. Also, the figure is covered with body shells and flexible skins made of hard and soft plastic materials. Then, the figure can be finished by adding details like colors, hair and feathers and other components to make the figure more realistic. The project idea came to us after watching the movie named “Real Steel”. We wanted to make a shadow robot from our curiosity. As the whole body of the robot would have been of much cost, we decided to make a shadow hand instead. Approximating the kinematics of the human hand was our top priority when developing this animatronic hand. Each joint of this hand has a movement range again the same as or very close to that of a human hand, including the thumb and even the flex of the palm for the little finger.
