About

This project proposes to develop a prosthetic hand prototype with anthropomorphic capabilities for stable grasping. This will be achieved through combination of mechanical design and embedded electronics with a multi-modal sensor system consisting of force, distance and temperature sensors. The hand will be controlled through electromyogram signals generated during grasping intention by the user.
