Impulse Flexomind

Abstract

Impulse Flexomind revolves around a multi-model approach to guide the robotic arm that is controlled by brain. The human brain consists of hundreds of millions of neurons. The utilization of an Electroencephalogram (EEG) based Brain Computer Interface (BCI) prosthetic arm offers a promising non-invasive approach to support individuals with significant disabilities in their daily lives. This innovative technology has the capability to empower users by facilitating voluntary movements of the prosthetic arm, enhancing their ability to engage in various activities with greater independence and control. The EEG signals from the brain are captured in Brain BioAmp headband and are processed by a microcontroller (Arduino UNO) to control servo motors and move the Prosthetic hand accordingly. It also involves a glove equipped with flex sensors that mimics the gestures. The technique involves the control of the arm motion with the aid of flex sensors. The voice control system is developed in order to control prosthetic arm by giving voice signals via Bluetooth. All operations can be monitored by a user interface with the support of a microcontroller. Individuals who have undergone amputation below the elbow can find significant advantages in utilizing this prosthetic arm. This prosthetic arm empowers physically disabled individuals to regain their independence and reduces their reliance on others to accomplish their daily tasks. This model would be highly useful in practice, especially, for arm amputees and paralyzed patients.
