Myoelectric Prosthetic Hand
The Robotic Prosthetic Hand project features the design and manufacturing of a myoelectric hand prosthetic focused on closely mimicking the form and functionality of lost upper extremity limbs for transradial amputations. The prosthetic features a full hand, which attaches to the amputee's prosthetic socket, with independently actuated fingers. Finger actuation includes an electromyogram (EMG) sensor on the residuum limb that measures muscular activity to use as an input to trigger the intended physical responses of the prosthetic hand through embedded microprocessors and servo motors.
