ABSTRACT

The loss of hand function following an injury and amputation of arm can severely affects a persons quality of life .Artificial hand are used to mitigate the handicap . Ideally , any artificial hand should be capable of emulating the natural hand in terms of grasping and gripping objects of varying geometries and physical properties. However , despite many years of research, the most commonly used prosthetic hand is the claw hook. Recent technological advances and innovations have led to the development of sophisticated artificial hands but high costs and difficulties of control have limited the number of users who can benefit from these developments. More importantly , many of the artificial hands developed so far have failed to address the problems of achieving versatile grasp and grip. Our goal is to design and develop a low cost artificial hand that can be used to provide versatile grasp. It can be controlled by an embedded system. Here we have used the hydraulic pumps to provide strength to the prosthetic hand. The sensor provided in the hand senses the mechanical activities of the hand. As the muscle contracts microcontroller senses the potential, which gives exclusive command to the artificial hand for specified action.
