Study on the design of bionic prosthetic hand model

In this research, a bionic prosthetic hand model is designed and built according to the limitations of the human hand, the model is then controlled using a computer algorithm written in MATLAB™ and embedded with Arduino Uno™ based controller. We conduct simulation model by developing algorithm for commanding the system to follow a few arm movement patterns. Forward kinematics algorithm is used to process the user’s input and define control parameters for the bionic arm. The experimental results indicated that the proposed algorithm has already met the desired specifications even though we still require the hardware with high enough specification for actuation purpose.
