Background

Hands play an important role in human life. For example most of people use their hands to do day-to-day tasks.

However, unfortunately, there are those who lose their hands or arms due to accidents or diseases.

It is estimated that at least 1.5 million people are living with an absence of upper limbs and prosthetic arms are still having limitations.

By using multimodal we aim to build a reliable prosthetic hand system.
