Artificial Hands Area - Istituto di BioRobotica (Scuola Sant'Anna)

The Artificial Hands Area  is part of The BioRobotics Institute - Scuola Superiore Sant'Anna (Pisa, Italy).
The Area pursues research in mechatronics and human-machine interfaces with the goal of developing advanced robotic limbs. Current research topics include: the observation of the human hand; the design of artificial hands, digits, wrists and elbows, their transmission and artificial sensory system; the use of biological signals for the physiological control of prehension; the development and clinical validation of bi-directional non invasive interfaces.
The Artificial Hands Area is coordinated by Christian Cipriani, Director of The BioRobotics Institute.
