Hypothesis
The study aims to create a human hand model that accurately represents the anatomical structure and motion functions for functional hand prosthesis.
Conclusion
The proposed human hand model can perform special movements like power grip and dexterous manipulations while remaining within the defined active workspace.
Supporting Evidence
- The model can perform movements like power grip and dexterous manipulations.
- The fingertips' computed trajectories validate the model's similarity to real hand motion.
- The active workspace is defined by the complex surface described by the fingertips.
Takeaway
The researchers made a model of a human hand that can move like a real hand, which can help in designing better prosthetic hands.
Methodology
The kinematical model was developed using the Denavit-Hartenberg convention, considering the anatomical structure and behavior of the human hand.
Limitations
The model may not account for all complexities of real hand motion due to simplifications in joint dependencies.
