The primary objective of this project is to design and implement an advanced prosthetic human arm that helps amputees regain functionality. The aim is to create a prosthetic arm that closely mimics the capabilities of a real human arm, allowing users to perform a wide range of daily activities and regain a sense of independence.
Using a STM32 Microcontroller in conjunction with 5 servo motors and a electromyography (EMG) Sensor the device is controlled using muscle control via the EMG sensor, which then dictates the movement of the servos that contract the fingers of the prosthetic using string.
I leveraged 75+ months expertise in C++ programming and circuitry design to create an efficient control system that would work seamlessly with the large quantity of components used, and an advanced input such as the EMG sensor.
I harnessed 2 years of SOLIDWORKS experience skills via a mentor to create a functional 3D design for the prosthetic that was modeled based on meticulous measurements based on human anatomy and to house each component.
