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.

Installation

git clone https://github.com/your-github/aim-assist.git
  • Assemble the hardware according to the diagrams provided in the docs/assembly_instructions.pdf.
  • Install Arduino dependencies.

Usage

  • Attach the prosthetic arm following the personal fitting instructions.
  • Calibrate the EMG sensors as per the user guide.
  • Use the provided scripts to test and calibrate the shooting mechanism.
