The best mechanical finger design lies in imitating the complex structure (anatomy) of the human finger with all its bones, joints, muscles, tendons and their connections as close as possible. At this point shape memory alloys are good potential with its muscle like working principles, SMA actuators are placed on phalanges to provide finger movements. © 2016 IEEE.trinfo:eu-repo/semantics/closedAccessactuatorsprostheticsShape memory alloyConference Object10.1109/BIYOMUT.2016.78493962-s2.0-85015848690N/A
