Here's next week's video, early for Patrons. This one goes out publicly on Tuesday 3rd Aug.

This is definitely the first step on some R&D, which will probably turn into something simpler and of more practical use - but it's a project I've been wanted to try out for some time.

Automatic Prosthetic Arm Concept

I've been wanting to try this project for some time. I'm attempting to use machine learning to control a prosthetic arm from my other body motions by training it through various postures while wearing a motion capture suit.

My channel is where I share some of my useful and not-so-useful inventions, designs and maker advice. Iron Man is my go-to cosplay, and 3D printing can solve most issues - broken bolts, missing parts, world hunger, you name it. XRobots is the community around my content where you can get in touch, share tips and advice, and more build FAQs, schematics and designs are also available.

For your missing data you reference at the beginning. This is where a kinematic model based on your body movements can be fed data from the motion capture "suit" which can help that AI model produce a more fluid and constrained natural movement.

XRobots

I think I'd still need all the axis in there, but yes a kinematic model would help a lot - probably using a better motion capture system would help a lot too though.

This project is looking amazing! I'm excited about exploring EMG and EEG data for this project.

Not much strength in this setup, correct? I was thinking it would have the 3 phase motors running it.

XRobots

Probably not enough for anything practical, but the point so far was just to see what the output is like.

Those servos seem very quiet despite their power, cool project James 👍

As Ford Prefect said to Zaphod Beeblebrox, “The extra arm suits you.” 😆

Caspar Siebel

Im really impressed just how deep you get into the technology and how fast you are learning new technologies. Do you have plans to teach the next OpenDoc walking using machine learning?

XRobots

That would definitely be a good use for machine learning. We just need a dog that's predictable enough - openDog V2 is a bit wobbly.

XRobots

There will be more related to machine learning and prosthetics, it may be a 'simpler' output device though ;-)
