| Abstract | This paper reports the biomimetic design and development of an extreme u pper limb prosthesis. The motivation for developing a new prosthetic hand is provided by the fact that low functionality and low controllability are the most impor tant reasons why amputees do not use their prosthetic hands. In addition , alth ugh multifingered hand prosthesis has appeared in the market, the cost is exo rbitantly high and out of reach of common people, which is particularly true for de veloping countries like India. The paper presents an anthropomorphic design of a prosthetic hand with 15 degrees of freedom using underactuated mechanism. Control is through electromyogram signals based on support vector machine fo r classification of six grasp types involved in 70% of daily living activities. |
