Abstract :
For a person with hand amputee it becomes very difficult to perform daily tasks. In this paper we propose a novel mechatronics device which will aesthetically looks like normal human hand and will be able to perform basic operations like gripping and holding of simple objects. Low cost and maintenance free assembly is the advantage of the proposed design.
