Abstract

This paper deals with the mechanical aspects that are taken into consideration while constructing a prosthetic arm. In the beginning, the design of the arm has been discussed at length. This section includes both-the part wise and the overall design made on modeling software. This is followed by explaining the movement of the arm. The parameters have been discussed in the section of the forward kinematics of the arm. The reverse engineering used in the design process is discussed. The material used has been covered towards the end. Finally, all these concepts have been put to use in a prototype developed by this team whose description is provided at the end of the paper.
