Project Description: The aim of my project is to lend a prosthetic hand to friends without hands to help them in doing everyday activities in a smooth way.
In my project, I have made a prosthetic hand using some untearable paper and EEG [Electroencephalogram] CHIP PWX. The fingers of the prosthetic hand are made of cut acrylic and move with the help of the pipe cleaning wires that spring them back and forth. The 5 servo motors pull the wires to make the hand move. There is An Arduino Uno Board which is connected to a PWX Chip. The PWX Chip has wires that connect the GELS to the chip. When the GELS receive movement, it signals the PWX EEG chip which in turn signals the Arduino Uno. The Arduino is connected to the server motors which makes the movement of the motor.
The software used in making this project is PICTOBLOX and the code is typed in C++.
I have also worked with hard plastic by using a 3D pen to make it stronger and water proof in case of any emergency and for regular usage.
IN WHAT WAYS IS MY PROJECT GOING TO HELP FRIENDS IN NEED?
The project that I have made is helping friends and other people without hands to help them do daily chores and activities with ease. The usage of batteries has made my project easily accessible by anyone from anywhere.
