Masters Thesis
ANTHROPOMOPRPHICALLY INSPIRED DESIGN OF A TENDON-DRIVEN ROBOTIC PROSTHESIS FOR HAND IMPAIRMENTS
The thesis involved the design of a robotic hand by borrowing inspiration from the anthropomorphic structure of a human hand. The goal was to develop a systematic methodology that enables us to custom-build the prosthesis to match the specific requirements of a person with upper extremities. A low-cost and light-weight anthropomorphic hand was designed in SolidWorks and 3D printed by making appropriate approximations and simplifications. This design represents the skeleton structure of a hand.
