- Extremely expensive~ 10 - 50 k$
- Difficult to customize- Not repairable- Limited device autonomy
Current problems of myoelectric hands
Context
2
I) Processing of EMG signal on FPGA
Our Proposal
3
II) 3D printed prosthesis*
III) Single finger granularity
• Real-time elaboration• Multiple EMG channels• Scalability
• Reduced production costs• Easy to repair• Customizable
• 5 motors in total• Mechanism adaptable to different gestures• Tendon activation
* Design by InMoov (www.inmoov.fr)
Applicative Domain

[1] United States of America Congressional Record Vol. 146 Part 9
«Each day 428 individuals lose a limb in the United States only. […]
Most insurance policies cover prosthetics with the stipulation of one
prosthesis per patient for life. Whereas the average prosthesis lasts
between 3 and 5 years.» [1]
Our Open Source project aims at
making functional prosthetic
hands more accessible to
amputees in all developing
countries.
