A wire-driven prosthetic hand developed as an undergraduate thesis project. Featuring 18 degrees of freedom, this innovative design prioritized affordability over ergonomics due to time constraints. The heartfelt mission? To help individuals with disabilities from underprivileged backgrounds rediscover the joy of using both hands.
