A Customizable Wearable Robust 3D Printed Bionic Arm: Muscle Controlled

In this research paper, customizable wearable robust 3D printed bionic arm been designed and implemented for a right arm. An experimental test has been conducted for a person who has been born without a right arm. A control of a 9 DOF hand is accomplished successfully using EMG signals acquired by MYO armband. Different gestures are recognized and mapped to control different movements of the hand. Basic daily activities have been accomplished after training of that person. The arm is a lightweight for daily use for long time. The cost of the arm is cheap compared to available solutions available on the market.
