High-Five: open-source myoelectric upper-limb prosthesis

I developed High-Five, the first Chilean upper-limb myoelectric prosthesis (shown in the image above), which uses surface EMG electrodes to control a five-degree-of-freedom (DoF) robotic hand. This project aimed to provide a functional, accessible, and open-source solution for individuals requiring upper-limb prosthetics.
The system integrates software and hardware innovations. I implemented the control code in C++ to interpret EMG signals and translate them into smooth and responsive hand movements. Additionally, I designed the printed circuit board (PCB) and created several components of the prosthetic hand using computer-aided design (CAD) software.
To ensure accessibility, we released the entire design as open-source, allowing others to build, modify, and improve upon it. You can access the full details and files here (available in Spanish).
