  • Abstract
    This paper is based on a design of actuated prosthetic hand, a five fingered dexterous hand characterized by low cost fabrication. Prosthetic hand has been designed by following a biomedical approach based on biological innovative design. All the four fingers and thumb can move independently which is the novelty of this design.
