Wearable EMG-Controlled Tendon-Driven Prosthetic Hand to Restore Grip Function

The objective of this project is to provide a prosthetic hand that can be used by amputees to restore the grip function. To achieve this goal, students will design and print in 3D a tendon-driven gripper with electric actuator. Students will also design a wearable, microcontroller-based system that converts electromyographic signals from the upper arm muscles into a force signal to close the gripper.
