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.
