Active Upper Limb Exoskeleton controlled by sEMG - MATLAB and Simulink Student Design Challenge

This video presents the project of an upper limb active exoskeleton that uses the surface electromyographic signals to do torque control and to amplify the user's physical capacities.
It uses Pneumatic Artificial Muscles as actuators for its excellent power to weight ratio and the system model is optimized using genetic algorithms from the MatLab Global Optimization Toolbox.


Experiments showed that the equipment is not only able to increase the users mechanical force but it's also capable of improving the fatigue endurance.

The Touch Bionics i-Limb Hand. REMARKABLE!

Some joke around and call it the terminator hand. This is an incredible new piece of technology! One can only imagine, the possibilities. After seeing the end of the vid, how they compare intelligence with dexterity - it makes you wonder, with our current technology and people always at the computer, moving their fingers at hyper-speed hitting individual targets/keys...
