Description

This project aims to develop an AI model that predicts an upper limb amputee's intuition. The predicted output will be used as a signal to control a prosthetic arm prototype. The model uses real data from volunteers (different age groups, genders, etc.). This large data volume enhances model accuracy and reliability. As a final goal, the prosthetic limb should be usable for a wide range of amputees and meet their needs. This project will consist of 4 stages: data collection, building the model, testing, and refining the model. The main model will be based on artificial neural networks. Tools and software that will be used: Python programming language and ESP microcontroller.
