Abstract :
A new concept for robust non-invasive optical activation of motorized hand prostheses by simple and non-contact
commands is presented. In addition, a novel approach for aiding hand amputees is shown, outlining significant
progress in thinking worth testing. In this, personalized 3D-printed artificial flexible hands are combined with
commercially available motorized exoskeletons, as they are used e.g. in tetraplegics.
