EMG-ARMBAND

Abstract

This project explores the field of EMG signals and how they can be used in controlling devices or applications. The objective of this project is to control various electronic devices using EMG and Bluetooth communication. The user will be able to control the device by wearing an EMG Armband that reads muscle signals. The Armband will respond accordingly to the “Muscle movement” of the user i.e. if the user wants to control the required device, he/she will do it by forming certain gestures. For us it is a revolution in technology but for the physically disabled, it is a life changer. People with Paresis, in which one half of their body is working, but the other half of the body is paralyzed or others with some sort of physical disability will be able to control their own devices without the help of any attendant by using the wave of their hand. EMG Armband can change the lives of paralyzed and physically disabled people by giving them independence and freedom of controlling their own work through the Armband.
