Exoskeleton Arm Brace controlled by Automated (EMG) Mode and Joystick Mode In automated mode, the user’s bicep and tricep muscles control the direction of the exoskeleton arm brace. The benefit of this, is that the user will not have to rely on the joystick device to tell which direction the arm is moving. However, due …

Adjustable Arm Brace, Force Sensing Resistor (100 pounds)
Through an auction on ebay, we placed a bid and won an adjustable metal arm brace that is used for rehabilitation purposes. To improve on our design, which was previously plastic, we have decided to use this arm brace to support the arm with the large amount of torque provided by the servo motor. The …

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 …
