Abstract
Handsome 1.0 is a prosthetic hand capable of grabbing objects and performing some basic hand gestures. To use Handsome 1.0, a user needs to attach surface Electromyography (EMG) sensor electrodes, as well as the gravity sensors to specific locations on their forearm and wrist. The sensors will analyze the signals collected while the user is moving their hand and will send instructions to the robotic hand to change its gestures. The force sensitive resistors on the fingertips of the prosthetic hand will ensure the object is held when grabbing objects.
