Pi 5 AI Powered Prosthetic Control – Research Demo Kit

Every part needed, pre-tested for compatibility, with an AI build companion trained on this exact project. Shipped from Bengaluru in 3-5 days.

This advanced kit lets you create a functional myoelectric control prototype — the foundation of modern prosthetic limbs. By capturing electromyography (EMG) signals from your forearm muscles and classifying them in real time on a Raspberry Pi 5, you can drive an array of five servos to simulate finger and thumb movements. Perfect for biomedical engineering projects, hackathon demos, or exploring human-machine interfaces.

What You'll Build

You'll construct a signal pipeline that reads raw muscle activity through the MyoWare sensor, digitises it with the ADS1115 ADC, and feeds it into a lightweight neural network running on the Pi 5. The model classifies intended gestures — such as open hand, fist, pinch — and commands five SG90 servos to replicate those motions. The result is a portable, self-contained demo that demonstrates the principles of active prosthetic control.

What You'll Learn

• Acquire and condition EMG signals using a medical-grade sensor and high-resolution ADC.
• Interface I2C peripherals on Raspberry Pi 5 and implement multi-channel servo control.
• Train and deploy a real-time classifier on an edge AI platform using frameworks like TensorFlow Lite.
• Design a bio-signal processing pipeline for myoelectric control with latency constraints.

Why Buy This Kit Instead of Sourcing Parts Separately

Who This Kit Is For

This kit targets engineering students (B.Tech ECE/EEE/Biomedical), researchers prototyping human-machine interfaces, and participants in national-level hackathons such as Smart India Hackathon. It’s also suitable for ATL labs coaching advanced robotics or for IIT/NIT/VIT/BITS final-year projects requiring a working bio-signal control demonstration.

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.
