Getting right part 2

Here is a video of my embroidered sensors, using Ali’s programming, circuit boards and muscles driving Alex’s robotic arm. 

Just so you know whats going on…..

Ali is holding a pair of embroidered sensors on his arm.  They are digital embroidery with conductive thread.  They pick up the electrical impulses of the muscle in Ali’s arm.  The conductive thread allows the signal to be transmitted to the robotic arm via a computer and so the robotic arm mirrors the movements of the human arm.

These are the embroidered sensors being held in place......its not very technical BUT it seems to be working.  I need to develop a way of putting the sensors on the skin with just the right amount of pressure.

We are now working to get even better results from even better sensors.
