A Hydraulic Solution for Implementing Human's Hand Prehen- sion Function

It is possible that a good part of humans becoming the dominant species on the planet resides in the natural design on the hand. That is why researchers give a lot of attention to modeling it, in order to obtain a good hand prosthesis. Despite many attempts, very few solutions are implemented, and even those are far to expensive to reach the general public. Our solution restricts the purpose of a human hand prosthesis only to its prehension function, considering that the vast majority of potential patients have one good hand for delicate actions and one affordable prosthesis with grabbing capabilities, to replace the missing one, will help them to manage through most of the daily activities.
