Summary

The purpose of this research is to create an intelligent robotic hand for people who have lost a limb below their elbow. By using artificial intelligence to adaptively grasp different types of objects, this will improve both the accuracy and flexibility of robotic prosthetic control. In addition, the project will integrate mechanical design and artificial intelligence based controls in order to produce a more functional and user-friendly prosthetic solution.

Detailed description

This research develops a low-cost, AI-powered prosthetic system for individuals with transradial amputations. The process begins with a 3D scan of the participant's residual limb to design customized, 3D-printed sockets and robotic hands. The core of the system integrates Artificial Intelligence to classify surface Electromyography (EMG) signals captured from the limb's muscles. This AI-driven pattern recognition allows for adaptive grasping of various objects. The study's primary objective is to compare this AI control system against traditional rule-based EMG programming. Both systems will be evaluated based on their effectiveness, adaptability, and response efficiency while the participant performs real-world grasping activities.
