摘要
This project serves to design and fabricate a robotic arm that imitates the movements of a biological human arm. The open source design was modified, and individual parts were 3D printed for assembly. Servo-motors act as the muscles, pulling nylon strings connected to the fingers that will perform hand gestures. The Myo Armband is used to collect the electromyographic (EMG) signals from the forearm of the test subject to train an artificial neural network (ANN) having 35 different classes consisting of the American Sign Language. Once the Artificial Neural Network is trained, it was used in real-time classification to make predictions the robotic arm. Using a two-layer feed forward network, accuracies for offline training reached a recognition rate of 94.7 percent. Previous prosthetic advancement has been too expensive for the general population. Our goal is to build an inexpensive alternative.
