Young scientists from Tomsk Polytechnic University are developing a robotic arm prototype and its control algorithm using myoelectric signals

Scientists are developing a robotic arm prototype and its control algorithm using myoelectric signals. The mechanical limb will independently recognize the motions of its owner and be able to perform all the same motions like a healthy arm. The scientists estimate the final cost of the device of 600 –1,000 USD.

According to the developers – fellows at the Laboratory of Medical Instrument-Making, the Institute of Non-Destructive Testing – Mikhail Grigoriev, Nikita Turushev and Evgeniy Tarakanets, the manufacturing of human prosthetic limbs has been available for a few decades...
