ABSTRACT:
An artificial forearm and hand having a fully-articulated wrist motion. The invention provides an integrated digitally-controlled remote manipulator device capable of reproducing all of the major motions of the human forearm, wrist and hand in a cmpact in-line package. This motion is accomplished without the requirement for feedback thereby making the invention ideally suited to digital computer control. The packaging of the device permits it to be sealed, meaning that it can be used as a remote manipulator that can reproduce human arm and hand motions. The packaging also produces a lightweight, cosmetically pleasing prosthetic device for use by humans.
