This book presents the novel design of an ambidextrous robot arm that offers double range of motion as compared to dexterous arms. The proposed arm is unique in terms of design (ambidextrous feature), actuation (use of two different actuators simultaneously: Pneumatic Artificial Muscle (PAM) & Electric Motor) andcontrol (combined use of Proportional Integral Derivative (PID) with Neural Network (NN) for the hand and modified Multiple Adaptive Neuro-fuzzy Inference System (MANFIS) controller for the arm). The primary challenge of the project was to achieve ambidextrous behavior of the arm....
