Description
This paper focuses on the provision of an affordable and less weight prosthetic arm for the Zimbabwean population. The research concentrated on improving the amputees’ living standards by means of providing them with a useful artificial arm which can perform tasks as a normal human arm. The literature review was thoroughly done by investigating the latest prostatic arms available in the market. The V-model or evolutionary prototyping was used in the research project to account for every component of the prosthetic limb. The V-model is a type of software development life cycle (SDLC) paradigm where processes run sequentially in a V-shape. The Ruoko bot is flexible and affordable than the current artificial prosthetic available. The prosthetic limb has an Arduino board which allows the useof an artificial intelligence algorithm to determine which signal of the brain's waves should be translated into bodily motion by an EEG headband.
