Abstract

This article suggests a method of controlling an artificial arm by foot and leg action. The functional design of a wrist with pneumatic bellows that are controlled by contact sensors installed on inner soles has been presented. A remote-control system has been developed for ease of manipulation. A workable artificial arm model has been made that allows differently shaped objects to be gripped.
