  • Upper-limb amputees often struggle with everyday tasks due to their limited dexterity. The existing prosthetic

The article from MSN discusses a groundbreaking development in robotics from China, where researchers have created a highly advanced prosthetic hand. This prosthetic, developed by a team at Zhejiang University, features 19 degrees of freedom, closely mimicking the dexterity and functionality of a human hand. It can perform complex tasks like picking up small objects, handling delicate items, and even executing precise movements required in tasks like playing musical instruments or typing. The hand uses advanced sensors and AI algorithms to adapt to various objects and tasks, providing a near-human level of interaction with the environment. This innovation not only promises to enhance the quality of life for amputees but also has potential applications in robotics, offering new possibilities for automation in industries requiring fine motor skills.
