# Bionic arms are advanced prosthetics
controlled by electrical signals from muscles
(EMG).
# They restore mobility and independence for
amputees.

engineering.
What is EMG?
⦿ EMG stands for Electromyography.
⦿ Measures electrical activity produced by
skeletal muscles.
⦿ Signals are detected using surface
electrodes.
⦿Used to interpret muscle activation.
Need for Bionic Arms
⦿Accidents, war injuries, and congenital
conditions.
⦿Traditional prosthetics offer limited control.
⦿ EMG-based bionics offer intuitive control.
Working Principle
• • EMG sensors detect muscle signals.
• • Signals are processed by a microcontroller.
• • Signal is mapped to movement patterns.
• • Motors move the arm based on signal
strength.
