Development of bionic hand by using EMG sensor

Abstract

This project proposes to develop a bionic hand. This hand is operated by the muscle movements, these muscle movements are perceived by EMG (electromyography) sensors on the arm. These EMG sensors produce electrical signals on the movement of muscles.Presently coming towards a concise engineering of this hand will comprise of four fingers and one thumb as a human and driven by servo motors. The tips of this hand are made by a studded rubber so that there is a moderate friction between hand and the surface of the object.

This bionic hand will have much noteworthiness for an impaired individual. There is a propelled advancement in it by utilizing sensors, for example, force sensitive resistor which will really tell to the system that if the object surface has reached and can also tell if the object, he is contacting has reached or not. This hand also have a capability of preforming using voiceover commands through an android application which allows the user to work without muscle sensor or electrode attachment.
