Exoskeleton Arm controlled by sEMG signals and Joystick Device

In the video above, through 3D printed parts, we were able to construct an exoskeleton prototype that was successfully able to move through the sEMG signals located on the bicep and tricep. The servo used to control the prototype exoskeleton is shown in this link. The actual sEMG signals from the video are shown in …
