Description

<p>In this paper presents the result of developed robot hand for grasping and manipulating objects as prosthesis by using 3D printing. Author's group develops myoelectric hand for infants which are amputee with transverse deficiencies. A robot hand is required ultra-small, ultra-light, grasping force similar with infant's grasping force and less discomfort movement of hand. As the result, we have developed ultra-light robot hand which is same grip force and pinch force comparing with conventional hands. Specifications of the robot hand shows; size is similar with 2 years old child, weight is 50g ( with no cosmetic globe), 70g( with cosmetic globe), grasp force is about 18.6N. Finally, we have verified usefulness of robot hand for myoelectric hand for infant, by conducting the experiments about mechanical performance and subject experiment.</p>
