Description:  This video shows a 17 degree-of-freedom, 5 degree-of-actuation compliant hand prototype that will be used in an anthropomorphic transhumeral prosthesis.  The hand is actuated with an array of pneumatic cylinders operating under closed-loop control.  The video shows each degree-of-actuation individually, followed by demonstrations of some of the hand's gestures, grasps, and achievable bandwidth.
