|
This paper presents one of the concepts useful in the development of an artificial hand for prosthesis that is controlled based upon the EMG (Electromyography) signals of the user’s remained active muscles in his hand. Surface EMG (sEMG) skin electrodes are used for obtaining and calculating the EMG signals and it is signal conditioned using instrumentation amplifier, high pass filter, low pass filter and precision rectifier. These pulses are given to the microcontroller (ATMEGA328p) which in turn controls the respective servomotors for movements of hand .So those pulses are referred to as EMG signals. An oscilloscope and a multimeter is used for observing as well as calculating the EMG waveform. In this hand the sEMG electrodes are placed on the biceps of the hand. |
