        abstract = {Designing and implementing a robotic hand 
utilizing electromyography (EMG) is associated with 
developing a prosthetic device which can be controlled 
via muscle electrical signals. The aim of this project is 
to obtain EMG signals from residual limbs using 
surface electrodes placed on functional muscle groups. 
Such signals undergo amplification, filtration, and 
further processing to yield distinct features indicative 
of muscle activity. A control algorithm is designed to 
interpret these features and subsequently translate 
them into commands meant for the robotic hand. 
Machine learning and pattern recognition approaches 
are used to associate defined sets of EMG signals 
to predetermined movements of the hand. The fingers, 
joints, 
and tendons of the robotic hand are 
constructed in such a way that allows for dexterous 
motion and gripping capability which enable it to 
mimic the structure and functionality of a human 
hand. Usually, the prototype is made through 3D 
printing as it is the most cost-effective method. Users 
EMG signals calibration is performed to ensure 
optimum mapping with the specific movements of the 
hand they wishes to control. Contiguous testing of the 
system is done to improve precision, responsiveness, 
comfort, and general user experience. This technology 
is 
incredibly useful in regions where economic 
resources limit access to commercial prosthetics. For 
instance, Ecuador is one of those countries where a 
considerable part of the population suffers from 
amputation of limbs. They truly lack the financial 
resources to afford even prosthetic limbs that are sold 
on the market. This project aims to aid these people 
with upper limb loss by restoring their mobility and 
independence through low-cost hardware, 3D printing, 
EMG technology, and affordable, ultrasound-based 
control devices.},
