dc.description.abstractExoskeleton, a revolutionizing new term which has taken the world of technology by storm in the last few decades. A technology, improving at a rate faster than anticipated. Some living organisms are found to be naturally supported by external skeletons, giving birth to the concept of exoskeleton where human beings who are physically disabled are to be supported by an external framework to support and aid them in their day to day activities. Therefore, using the concept of exoskeleton we plan to build an automated, at the same time independent, mechanical arm for rehabilitation and providing aid to the people who are suffering. In addition to the primary goal, our device will also be able to aid people without any disabilities, in performing daily chores or lifting heavy objects. We plan to execute this system using commercially off the Shelf Components (COTS) such as: Arduino, Myoware Muscle Sensor and Linear Actuator, having researched on efficiency and cost of other relevant components. The sensor will sense the EMG signals from the targeted muscle group, the Arduino will convert these signals to analogue values and eventually send in the commands to linear actuator for execution. If successful, affordability and reliability will be maximum, making sure such a high-end product is available for the masses.
