A neuro-robotic prosthetic arm (Ruoko Bot)

Abstract

This paper focused on the provision of an affordable and less weight prosthetic arm for the Zimbabwean population.The research concentrated on improving the amputees’livings tandards by means of providing them with a useful artificial arm which can perform  tasks as a normal human arm.Theliterature review was thoroughly done by investigating the latest prostatic arms available in the  market.The V model or evolutionary prototypin gwas used in the research project to account for every component of the prosthetic limb.  The V-model is a type of software development life cycle (SDLC)paradigm where processes run sequentially in a V-shape. The Ruoko bot is  flexible and affordable thanthe current artificial prosthetic available. The prosthetic limb has an Arduino board which allows the useof  an artificial intelligence algorithm to determine which signal of the brain's waves should be translated into bodily motion by an EEG head  band.
