-## Equations
-
-This theme supports rendering beautiful math in inline and display modes using [MathJax 3](https://www.mathjax.org/) engine.
-You just need to surround your math expression with `$$`, like `$$ E = mc^2 $$`.
-If you leave it inside a paragraph, it will produce an inline expression, just like $$ E = mc^2 $$.
-
-In fact, you can also use a single dollar sign `$` to create inline formulas, such as `$ E = mc^2 $`, which will render as $ E = mc^2 $. This approach provides the same effect during TeX-based compilation, but visually it appears slightly less bold compared to double-dollar signs `$$`, making it blend more naturally with surrounding text.
-
-To use display mode, again surround your expression with `$$` and place it as a separate paragraph.
-Here is an example:
-
-$$
-\left( \sum_{k=1}^n a_k b_k \right)^2 \leq \left( \sum_{k=1}^n a_k^2 \right) \left( \sum_{k=1}^n b_k^2 \right)
-$$
+# Abstract
 
-Note that MathJax 3 is [a major re-write of MathJax](https://docs.mathjax.org/en/latest/upgrading/whats-new-3.0.html) that brought a significant improvement to the loading and rendering speed, which is now [on par with KaTeX](http://www.intmath.com/cg5/katex-mathjax-comparison.php).
+Advancements in bionic technology are transforming the possibilities for restoring hand function in individuals with amputations or paralysis. This paper introduces a cost-effective bionic arm design that leverages mind-controlled functionality and integrates a sense of touch to replicate natural hand movements. The system utilizes a non-invasive EEG-based control mechanism, enabling users to operate the arm using brain signals processed into PWM commands for servo motor control of the bionic arm. Additionally, the design incorporates a touch sensor (tactile feedback) in the gripper, offering sensory feedback to enhance user safety and dexterity.
+The proposed bionic arm prioritizes three essential features:
+1. Integrated Sensory Feedback: Providing users with a tactile experience to mimic the sense of touch (signals directly going to the brain). This capability is crucial for safe object manipulation by arm and preventing injuries
+2. Mind-Control Potential: Harnessing EEG signals for seamless, thought-driven operation.
+3. Non-Invasive Nature: Ensuring user comfort by avoiding invasive surgical procedures.
+This novel approach aims to deliver an intuitive, natural, and efficient solution for restoring complex hand functions.
