00:00The peg of our innovation tonight is a superhero.

00:14And this is like a superpower for those of us who have limb differences.

00:19Whatever that is, let's change the game.

00:25It started with a thesis project made with a 3D printed prototype.

00:30At Do-It-Yourself Electronics.

00:34That led to this.

00:40Bionic Prosthetic Arm, which will greatly help our countrymen with limb differences.

00:48Mala Superhero Armor of Bacamo.

00:51This is the answer to the electromyography technology programmed in the prototype.

00:58Developed by these brilliant computer engineering students from SPI College, Ortigas, Caintas.

01:05We felt that it's really hard to move during a pandemic.

01:08If it's hard to move, how much more for our fellowmen who have limb differences.

01:16With the help of Amputee Case Study,

01:20we were able to learn how to use EMG sensors and machine learning to control the Bionic Prosthetic Arm.

01:28Our target is below the elbow, so that there's a muscle that can be removed from the amputee.

01:34One major problem with prosthetic devices is the lack of feedback from users.

01:42They don't feel the objects they're holding.

01:47So we implemented a force sensor on every finger.

01:52Then it will vibrate if the object they're holding is strong.

01:57For the price of Php50,000 to Php70,000,

02:01the Bionic Prosthetic Arm can now reach more

02:04compared to the usual cosmetic and body-powered prosthetics

02:08that cost Php500,000 to Php1,000,000 each.

02:12No wonder the project was recognized as a best thesis

02:16that was planned to be patented by the group.

02:18Our invention started with the EMG sensor

02:23because it uses electromyography technology.

02:27So this EMG sensor picks up muscle activity or muscle signal from the person wearing it.

02:35And the good thing about this is that it's non-invasive.

02:38It will be sent to the microcontroller inside the Bionic Prosthetic Arm.

02:44It will determine, transmit, and command what type of movement it will do.

02:58An innovation that could change the game,

03:00especially for Filipinos with limb differences.

03:05This will be more accessible to them

03:08so that they can live their daily lives more easily.

03:12For GMA Integrated News,

03:14I'm Martin Avier,

03:16Changing the Game!
