Aim Assist

Overview

The Aim Assist project develops a prosthetic arm that replicates the biomechanics of a human arm to shoot a basketball. Designed for individuals with upper limb disabilities or amputations, this prosthetic enhances physical activity and psychological well-being by enabling participation in sports.

Features

• Biomechanical Accuracy: Mimics natural arm movements including elbow and shoulder flexion and wrist flick.
• Customizable Settings: Engineered to adjust for optimal release speed, angle, and spin.
• Arduino Integration: Uses Arduino Uno to synchronize motor movements with EMG signal inputs for real-time responsiveness.

Technology Stack

• Mechanical Design: Gears and linkages to simulate arm motion.
• Electronics: Arduino Uno and Servo Motors (HS-805BB).
• Fabrication: 3D printed with Polylactic Acid (PLA) for durability and lightness.
