Bionic Arm Controlled by EMG Signals

  • Unique Paper ID: 177836
  • PageNo: 3094-3097
  • Abstract:
  • This paper introduces an affordable bionic arm that uses electromyography (EMG) signals to mimic basic hand movements, such as opening and closing a fist. Intended for individuals with upper limb impairments, the system employs EMG sensors to capture muscle activity, an Arduino Uno for signal processing, and servo motors to execute the intended gestures. Essential components include the L298N for voltage conversion, multiple batteries to ensure stable power, and a 3D-printed structure for the mechanical arm. The prototype showcases the feasibility of engineering applications in prosthetics and holds promise for further advancements in biomedical development and real-world implementation.
