Interactive system based on artificial intelligence and robotic arm to enhance arabic sign language learning in deaf children

Tailored support is crucial for deaf and hearing-impaired children to overcome learning difficulties, particularly during primary education. The absence of listening profoundly hinders the progression of the learning journey, as it plays a pivotal role in language acquisition. Employing assistive technology is one approach to address this issue in the field of education. This paper introduces RSA, an interactive system designed for the recognition and simulation of letters in Arabic Sign Language. Our system’s objective is to enrich language learning in an engaging manner. RSA utilizes artificial intelligence to identify and recognize the gestures corresponding to Arabic letters in real-time. Additionally, the system has the capability to replicate these letters through the utilization of a robotic arm. Thanks to its simplicity, the system holds promise in enhancing the acquisition of Arabic sign language skills for deaf children.
