Description
Summary:The Prosthetic arm is a device for people who are suffering from paralyzed human parts. In this project we use the signals from the muscles which are called electromyography. The main challenge in the prosthesis is the lack of a portable and powerful embedded system. We present a design and development of EMG based prostheses for upper arm prosthetics that can overcome many limitations over myoelectric movements. Neuromuscular signals are also used to estimate force and torque to actuate the prosthetic device. In sense to obtain required output the sensing system and control system work accordingly. Our prototype will serve as a platform for several new features and an elegant way for a natural and intuitive prosthesis.
