Design of a Compliant, Multi-Phalanx Underactuated Prosthetic Finger

Highly advanced robotic hand prostheses are praised for their impressive grasping and pinching capabilities. Nevertheless, a high demand remains for grasping mechanisms that are cheaper to produce, easier to assemble and lower in overall maintenance. In this paper, the idea of creating a 3D printable underactuated grasper was realized to fulfill...
