    The document summarizes the development and testing of a bionic arm. It describes how air muscles and carbon fiber were chosen for their strength and weight properties, though carbon fiber was more expensive. The arm used electric hands that could reach all positions cost effectively. A series of tests showed the arm could successfully place bricks, pick up bricks up to 5kg, and passed all tests except lifting a 10kg brick, which may be possible with a larger budget.

    Air muscles

    Air Muscles were chosen because of their excellent strength to weight


    ratio
    Cost effective

    Carbon Fiber

    Chosen because can lift heavy objects with ease.


    Was more expensive than Plastic and Titanium.

    Electric Hand

    Was very cost effective


    Reached all positions

    Envelope Test
    Reached all positions

    Dexterity Test
    Placed the bricks successfully

    Brick Wall test


    Placed all bricks

    Weight test
    Picked up 2kg and 5kg bricks
    10kg brick failed

    Final Test Results


    The final results of all the tests was very pleasing. It passed all tests
    except for the 10kg brick. With a larger budget this could be achieved.
