MUMBAI, India, May 1 -- Intellectual Property India has published a patent application (202641047827 A) filed by Srm Institute Of Science And Technology, Ramapuram Campus; and Easwari Engineering College, Chennai, Tamil Nadu, on April 15, for 'biomechatronic prosthesis with emg signal processing.'
Inventor(s) include Sriganesh V; Sameer Ahmed; Vasanth S; and Dr. Ushus S Kumar.
The application for the patent was published on May 1, under issue no. 18/2026.
According to the abstract released by the Intellectual Property India: "This project presents the development of a low-cost, EMG-controlled prosthetic arm using Arduino Uno and surface EMG sensors. Inspired by existing designs, the system detects forearm muscle activity and translates it into hand movements. The prosthetic and, made from cardboard for prototyping, is actuated using servo motors. EMG signals are processed to differentiate muscle contractions, allowing intuitive control. This approach demonstrates an affordable and accessible solution for individuals with limb loss, paving the way for future advancements in prosthetic technology."
