Abstract

This paper presents analysis, implementation and control of a five degree of freedom (5 DOF) robot arm via Electromyography (EMG) and flex sensors. The EMG signal is used to interpret the human arm muscles movements (hand grasp or release) while the flex signals are used to detect the elbow and wrist joints angular displacement measurements of human arm.
