Robotic Prosthesis

thingiverse

This innovative robotic prosthesis was crafted by Nicholas Brown, a talented engineering student from Pine Grove Area High School. Brown drew inspiration from the pioneering Flexy-Hand project developed by Gyrobot and created a prosthetic that allows for precise finger movement - even in cases where the user lacks a wrist. By harnessing EMG signals from the user's muscles, this cutting-edge device sends commands to an Arduino Mega, which seamlessly controls five servo motors. To facilitate widespread adaptation and modification, Brown has included a comprehensive guide, list of materials, images, and Solidworks design files.
