Abstract
En este proyecto se desarrolló un prototipo de prótesis de mano controlada por señales electroencefalográficas utilizando la tecnología de Arduino y Mindflex. El objetivo
principal fue diseñar un sistema que permitiera a las personas con discapacidad controlar una prótesis de mano mediante la actividad cerebral. Para lograr esto, se utilizó el chip Neurosky junto con Arduino para obtener las señales EEG necesarias. Se implementó un prototipo que integraba componentes electromecánicos para el accionamiento de la
prótesis. Se realizaron pruebas y simulaciones para evaluar el rendimiento y la eficiencia del sistema. Los resultados mostraron una buena interacción entre el usuario y el servomotor, así como una precisión satisfactoria en la generación de comandos cerebrales. Además, se analizaron los datos obtenidos de validación y se compararon los resultados entre el dispositivo openbci y Mindflex. En general, se concluyó que el sistema desarrollado demostró ser efectivo y prometedor para el control del prototipo de prótesis de mano mediante señales electroencefalográficas. Este proyecto contribuye al avance de la tecnología en el campo de las prótesis y ofrece nuevas posibilidades para mejorar la calidad de vida de las personas con discapacidad.
