The goal of this project is produce a 3-5 digit prosthesis whose actuation is enabled through motors controlled by muscle impulses recorded via surface electromyography (sEMG) in an open-source environment.
Low-cost, easy to maintain prostheses are always in high demand. There are many options that fit this category, but many myoelectric prostheses fall short in terms of their ease of calibration for the patient. A low-cost prosthesis with either a self- or assisted-calibration feature would improve the usability and quality of life of the users, as minute changes in electrode placement from day to day use produce significant changes in motor control performance.
