Abstract

Although the human
brain has not solved the mystery in full, significant progress has been made as
a result of scientific studies on the brain. Through the electrodes connected
to the human brain, the EEG signs of our thoughts can give information about
the current intellectual and physical state of the human. With the signals from
the brain through the EEG biosensors, we can measure the motivation level of
our brain. Depending on our state of thought or motivation, changing signs can
be used to control a system. This study consists of four stages. Robotic-hand
design was made in the first stage. Plastic parts in robotic-hand design are
drawn by CAD (Solid) program and produced by 3D printer. In the second stage,
the servomotor and the necessary mechanisms are placed into the plastic model
and the joints are moved by the motors that pull the lines of the line for the
correct movement of the fingers. The third stage is the software phase that
will control the movement of the servo-motors in the bionic hand. Software codes
have been created for the Arduino card to control the system. In the fourth and
final stage, the study was carried out by practicing on how the individual
would be motivated by the use of the bionic hand sensor with the brain waves
sensor.
