| Abstract | The purpose of this project was to create a working model of a prosthetic limb using hardware and software that I would construct to translate electrical muscle signals into movements. The practicality of applying novel advances in electromyographic technology (i.e. the reading of muscular electric signals) to the development of inexpensive prostheses with improved sensory control and experience was also investigated. |
