MCC ROBOTICS ON PROESTHICS WORKSHOP
The IEEE German Jordanian University (GJU) Student Branch, in collaboration with MCC (Microcontrollers Corporation), hosted the MCC Robotics on Prosthetics Workshop on November 11, 2026, bringing together electronics, biomedical engineering, and robotics in an interactive hands-on experience.
Throughout the workshop, participants explored how embedded systems and biomedical signals can be used to develop assistive technologies, with a particular focus on robotic prosthetic limbs.
Workshop Highlights
1. Embedded Systems & Arduino
Participants were introduced to microcontroller architecture, Arduino Uno, electronic components, and programming fundamentals, including digital and analog signals, input/output control, and debugging.
2. Biomedical Engineering & EMG
The session explored how electrical signals generated by human muscles can be detected and used to control prosthetic devices. Participants learned about sEMG sensors, electrode placement, signal processing, and noise reduction.
3. Prosthetics & Robotic Control
Participants learned about the development of prosthetic limbs, different prosthetic technologies, mechanical components, and control methods, from traditional systems to modern myoelectric solutions.
4. Hands-on Prosthetic Arm Assembly
The workshop concluded with a practical activity where participants worked with Arduino boards and SG90 servo motors, applying PWM control to assemble and program a functional robotic prosthetic arm.
