Abstract: 

Robotics is one of the fastest growing segments of the industrial machine market. The advances in the current technology enables the humans to develop the state of the art Robots to accomplish the specified tasks. One of the major fields of application of robotic systems is the bio-medical field. Electromyogram (EMG) signals square measure generated by muscles once activated by the system, which generates electric potential. These signals then cause contraction of the muscle which ends in body movement. These EMG signals can be read through the use of surface EMG electrodes to assess the muscle to read the signals from the skin above the desired muscle. EMG signals will be helpful for developing systems that may facilitate the disabled. This help will be performed through the event of medical specialty. The medical field has benefited from intensive research in EMG signal analysis in the past couple decades, which has improved the quality of life for those with physical disabilities. The main aim of this paper is to design a robotic arm that works using the electromyography that moves the robotic arm with the help of arduino microcontroller ATmega 2560. With this project, the main goal is to transform muscle tensions of the human arm into the physical form of the movement of the robotic arm
