N2 - Scientists have researched human anatomy and biology to produce human-like prosthetic hands. In the absence of a hand, prosthetics assist in reestablishing independence and confidence. Prosthetic hands are limited in functionality and cost. A low-cost anthropomorphic prosthetic hand was designed. With five independently operated fingers and powered thumb roll movement, the design is unlike anything else on the market. This research aims to provide a cheaper alternative to the market's robotic prostheses. Inability to use limbs causes psychological and physical issues for amputees. Arduino, an open-source microprocessor, was used to build a prototype prosthetic hand. An Android app allows users to select a hand motion to circumvent myoelectric prosthesis control mechanisms. The Arduino uses this data to power servos that individually trigger each finger.
