Controlled fingers of an iLimb prosthetic arm
by Prashant_Rao
Hi Guys
As my first project I controlled the fingers of an ilimb prosthetic arm. Here is the video

I want to further improve on this project by making a whole arm with a hand. The final goal would be to use minimalistic motions to control a robot arm with a hand so that the leapmotion can be used on a wheelchair by, let's say a quadriplegic who can just slightly move their palm and fingers but not raise his/her arms.
This was all coded on basic c/c++ on an ubuntu system. The ilimb is controlled by canOpen protocol and unfortunately the control for the ilimb is binary (fingers either open or close).
