Abstract
At the Forschungszentrum Karlsruhe, a new artificial hand has been developed. It is based on the so called flexible fluidic actuators. This new class of actuators enables the construction of a very lightweight hand with a high functionality and a human-like behaviour. Consequently, the grasping of many objects or tools of different sizes and shapes is possible. In addition, this artificial hand has integrated a force-feedback. In the paper, the development of this new artificial hand will be shown. The different prototypes developed will be described and their advantages and disadvantages will be discussed. Finally, some tests of this hand by a handicapped person will be given which demonstrate the efficiency of this prosthetic hand.
