Abstract
Prosthetic technology has advanced significantly in recent years, giving people who have lost limbs the chance to restore mobility and independence. Electric hand prosthesis controlled by voice instructions and muscle sensors represent one interesting area of advancement. This study focuses on the creation of an electric hand prosthesis that can be voice-controlled and muscle-sensing, with a focus on the usage of 3D-printed polylactic acid (PLA) and fiberglass reinforced with pineapple leaves. The goal of this project is to examine the viability and advantages of using these cutting-edge materials in the manufacture of prosthetic components. The project also seeks to investigate the possibilities of implantable myoelectric sensors in conjunction with voice instructions for natural prosthesis control. The inquiry is still in its early stages, with a focus on gathering real-time system values while it is in use. This research aims to advance prosthetic technology by shedding light on these developments, ultimately improving the lives of those who have lost limbs. And developing a prototype of the discoveries.
