Abstract
Numbers of prosthetic hand has been developed up till today, however they are designed with the concept of maximizing the number of prehensile forms or to meet the mechanical specification, such as pinch force or range of motion. The function is important, yet workability and operability is more important for long term use for the user and a design approach targeting better control interface is proposed. A prototype design is presented with a composite of myoelectric control and Bowden-cable control within one hand to coexist precision grasp and power grasp. A three-digit hand is manufactured with compliant fingers, and experiments are schedule for evaluation.
