A method to control bionic arm using Galvanic skin response

Abstract

Advancement in bionic technology is slowly turning out to be wave of the future. However, it is proven to be unaffordable due to high cost factor. Emerging robotic and sensor technology is the key towards development of such bionic devices. The proposed low power, cost effective system incorporates embedded MCU, highly customized analog front end comprising of amplifiers and electrodes to acquire Galvanic skin response along with integration of robotic mechanism catering to meet the functionalities performed by upper limb. The design of such intelligent systems could revolutionize this technological platform resulting in next generation prosthetic device.
