Develop a System to Control a Prosthetic Hand by Using EMG
Abstract: An EMG-controlled prosthetic hand is a type of artificial hand that users can control through muscle signals. When a person with a missing hand tries to move their "phantom" hand, the muscles in the remaining part of the arm still produce electrical signals. Small sensors placed on the skin detect these signals, which are then translated into movements of the prosthetic hand, like opening, closing, or gripping objects. This technology …
