Abstract

The arm is a part of the upper limb that plays a significant role in daily activities. Unfortunately, some people are less fortunate due to arms limitations. This limitation can be in incomplete arm organs, such as the absence of the forearm caused by amputation or congenital anomalies. A prosthetic arm is one of the most critical assistive technology they require. In this research, we propose a prosthetic arm system that can be controlled based on the movement of the remaining arm part of the body. Since the prosthetic arm is a wearable device, the designed system will be implemented on an embedded system. This system uses input from the acquisition of electrical activity that occurs in the upper arm muscles. The data were acquired using an Electromyography (EMG) sensor. There are five types of arm movement designed that can be classified based on the amplitude value of the EMG signal. The prosthetic arm performs the motion according to the classification results. The proposed system has an accuracy of 87% in the suitability of the robot's arm motion.
