Arm EMG Prosthetic Hand Controller Kit with Arduino Nano + Servo
Build a Wireless EMG Prosthetic Hand Controller Kit with Arduino Nano
Every part needed, pre-tested for compatibility, with an AI build companion trained on this exact project. Shipped from Bengaluru in 3-5 days.
Step into the future of assistive technology by building a functional wireless prosthetic hand controller. Using dual-channel electromyography (EMG) and Bluetooth communication, this kit empowers you to classify muscle signals from forearm muscles into hand-open and hand-close gestures, then drive servo actuators in real time—perfect for prototyping a low-cost prosthetic limb or wearable human-machine interface.
What You'll Build
You’ll assemble two wireless modules: a wearable EMG acquisition band with electrode patches and Muscle BioAmp Candy sensors that read flexor and extensor muscle activity, and a receiver unit that decodes the signals via HC-05 Bluetooth to control three SG90 servos on a prosthetic hand frame. The system reliably distinguishes between deliberate open and close intentions, moving the digits accordingly.
What You'll Learn
- Acquire and filter surface EMG signals using Muscle BioAmp Candy sensors on two muscle groups
- Implement gesture classification algorithms on Arduino Nano for real-time control
- Establish wireless Bluetooth serial communication between two Arduino Nanos using HC-05 modules
- Integrate servo motors and map EMG-predicted gestures to precise angular movements

Who This Kit Is For
This advanced wearable technology kit is tailored for B.Tech ECE or biomedical engineering students building assistive devices, Smart India Hackathon teams developing affordable prosthetics, and innovators in ATL Tinkering Labs or university ecosystems like IIT/NIT/VIT who want to prototype a real, EMG-driven human-machine interface. Prior Arduino programming and basic soldering experience are expected.
Built and Backed by Compoden
Every Compoden kit ships with an AI build companion trained on this exact project — accessible via a QR code on the box, with WhatsApp and email backup. We've spent 10 years building projects for makers, schools, and institutions across India. If a part fails because of a manufacturing defect, replace it free within 7 days.
What if I get stuck during the build?
Scan the QR code to open the AI companion, which has been trained on this kit’s circuitry, code, and common pitfalls. You can also reach out on WhatsApp for direct troubleshooting.
Can I use a different microcontroller instead of Arduino Nano?
The kit is designed around the Arduino Nano’s form factor and libraries. While experienced developers may port it, we recommend sticking to the included Nanos for seamless compatibility with our AI guidance.
Is the prosthetic hand structure included in the kit?
The kit includes servos and electronics to control a hand, but the mechanical hand body (3D-printed or prefabricated) is not included. You’ll need to supply or build the prosthetic frame onto which the servos mount.
Do I need prior experience with EMG or soldering?
Two EMG channels classify hand open/close gestures to control a servo prosthetic hand wirelessly.
