The Biomimetic Hand Prosthesis Hannes Uniquely Similar to a Human Hand

Caption

The prosthesis is able to replicate the key biological properties of the human hand: natural synergistic and adaptable movement; biomimetic levels of force and speed; high anthropomorphism and grasp robustness. After a training period of less than one week, patients could autonomously use Hannes domestically to perform activities of daily living.
