RESEARCH
Bionic Arm
Project Overview
This project aims to develop an affordable bionic hand controlled by EMG signals, addressing the high cost and limited accessibility of advanced prosthetic hands. By creating a cheaper alternative, it seeks to make functional prosthetics available to a broader range of amputees, particularly those in low-resource areas or without insurance.
The project will serve hand/upper arm amputees who require a prosthetic hand for daily activities. By utilizing EMG signals, the hand allows for more intuitive control while not necessitating risk inducing surgeries. This approach, focusing on cost-effectiveness, customization potential, and the possibility of wider adoption will meet more individual user needs, as most current solutions are costly, while still having a “one size fits all” format.
