Abstract

In this paper a new prosthetic hand is presented that closely approximates the grasping abilities of a human hand. A large variety of different objects can be grasped reliably and the movements of the hand appear to natural. This five-finger hand has 15 degrees of freedom driven by small sized flexible fluidic actuators. The drives are within the fingers allowing a very compact and lightweight hand. Also, a concept for the control of different grasp types is presented. The characteristics of the new hand are illustrated.
