Area of Science:

  • Biomedical Engineering
  • Robotics
  • Human Morphology

Background:

  • Human hands possess unique morphology for superior grasping and manipulation compared to other primates.
  • Current prosthetic hand designs rely on empirical engineering methods, limiting dexterity.
  • A lack of understanding human hand's parametric features hinders advanced prosthetic design.

Purpose of the Study:

  • To develop a science-driven method for prosthetic hand morphology design.
  • To enable the creation of prosthetic hands with human-level dexterity.
  • To facilitate the transfer of human hand's morphological parameters to prosthetic designs.

Main Methods:

  • Quantitative analysis of human hand morphological, movement, and postural data.
  • Development of a method to transfer human morphological parameters to prosthetic hands.
  • Application of the method to design an advanced prosthetic hand (X-hand II).

Main Results:

  • The developed method successfully transfers human morphological parameters to prosthetic hands.
  • The X-hand II prosthetic hand demonstrates a wide grasping/manipulative range comparable to human hands.
  • The prosthetic hand can replicate various daily grasp types and perform dexterous in-hand manipulation.

Conclusions:

  • A science-driven design method can significantly enhance prosthetic hand dexterity.
  • This approach offers a pathway for developing artificial limbs and bionic robots with improved functionality.
  • The study facilitates the creation of prosthetic hands with human-level manipulative capabilities.
