This incredible project is our most ambitious yet. Our goal is to reproduce a human scale arm, and making it interactive trough means we have not chosen for now. We are aiming to reproduce the movement of the user's arm on our artificial one. We wish to educate ourselves on the anatomy of the arm as much as we can and try our best to recreate it correctly, including bones, muscles and maybe even tendons. We'll put our sweat and tears into this project, and hopefully not our blood :)

All the attempt to make the code is on our github. Here is the link for the code:
It is with deep sadness and a heavy heart that we announce the tragic passing of Bicep Number 2. At 11:27 AM today, we lost a cherished and irreplaceable member of our community. Bicep Number 2 brought strength, support, and resilience to those who relied on its unwavering presence.

Rest in peace, Bicep Number 2. Your presence will be profoundly missed, and your memory will forever live on in our hearts
Today was a big day for us. we've made the first arm elbow or something like that prototype. It is a one degree freedom lever. With my strengh we've made the arm lift a 2.5 Kg weight. It may take more but we need to check with the motor how much it can lift. The syringe driver will soon be ready so we hope everything will come to place.
Last tuesday we have made a connection between 4 muscle prototype. Now on this probably be consider as fiber muscle. The video of it can be seen in the files.
Today we did the fifth muscle prototype. It is basically the same as the fourth one exept that the net used is bigger than the previous one. It will allow the ballon to inflate more and by that to retract more.
