EEG Based Prosthetic Arm - RoboGrip: A Grasp on Tomorrow

  • Unique Paper ID: 189906
  • Volume: 12
  • Issue: 8
  • PageNo: 2620-2625
  • Abstract:
  • A prosthetic arm is a meticulously crafted replacement for a missing upper extremity, designed to functionally replicate an individual's post-amputation dexterity and enhance their overall well-being. This paper explores the potential of using EEG signals to control prosthetic hands. While recent advancements have focused on EMG-based prosthetics, EEG offers a promising alternative. This study investigates the development of a BCI (Brain-Computer Interface) prosthetic arm using pre-recorded EEG data for six recognized grip patterns. The goal is to create a cost-effective, lightweight prosthetic capable of performing these essential functions. The paper details the process of utilizing machine learning algorithms to train the prosthetic model based on EEG data.
