Abstract :
This work is a first approach of an articulated hand with the purpose of solving the basic needs of a hand-amputated person. The anthropomorphic hand has two active degrees of freedom and 6 passive, actuated by a pneumatic system. The main objectives are simplicity, low weight and minimum consumption, minimum control and natural appearance.
