Abstract / Description of output

Myoelectric hand prostheses aim to mimic the movements of the human hand. However, there is currently no cost-effective system which can flexibly switch control algorithms to achieve the user preferences and to compare these algorithms in a similar environment. To address this need, we developed a low-cost myoelectric system on the Arduino platform using module-based implementation. Two control algorithms have been implemented in this study, but extra controllers could be easily added to the system with this design. The proposed system was validated in real-time experiments with a commercial prosthesis. The control signals and control logic were analysed.
