Emotiv

Emotiv

The EMOTIV EPOC+ is designed for scalable and contextual human brain research and provides access to professional grade brain data with a quick and easy to use design.

Emotiv is used for control the robotic hand with thought.

Arduino UNO

Arduino

Arduino is an open-source electronics platform based on easy-to-use hardware and software. Arduino boards are able to read inputs - light on a sensor, a finger on a button, or a Twitter message - and turn it into an output - activating a motor, turning on an LED, publishing something online. You can tell your board what to do by sending a set of instructions to the microcontroller on the board.

Arduino is used to power the motors and based on the sensor data received, Arduino resets the various motors.

Servo motor

Servo

A servomotor is a rotary actuator or linear actuator that allows for precise control of angular or linear position, speed and acceleration. It consists of a suitable motor coupled to a sensor for position feedback.

We used these servomotor for moving fingers.

3D Printer

Printer

We used the 3D printer for creating our hand.

Prusa Printer

Muse

Muse is a wearable brain sensing headband. The device measures brain activity via 4 electroencephalography (EEG) sensors. An accompanying mobile app converts the EEG signal into audio feedback that is fed to the user via headphones.
