The arm is running of an 8-bit PIC microcontroller with a Lithium Polymer battery powering 7 servo motors (5 fingers, wrist & elbow).
In this video the movements were pre-programmed but emg control was achieved using surface emg sensors, i.e. the arm could be controlled by flexing muscles.
The design was made using Solidworks and 3D printed in ABS using an UP2 3D printer.
