Anatomically correct experimental hand
The tests in the development of an experimental anatomically correct hand, has three fingers to operate as they do the fingers of a human hand, that is, they have the same structure biomechanics. What we are dealing with this is to understand the human side of the structure and biomechanics and neural control strategies, and will serve as a prosthesis and a surgical instrument someday.
Investigators learned of the brain and can open many new paths to the discovery, in areas such as computing, robotics, medicine and education. It is expected to understand how the brain operates the hand, and give people with paralysis of power and move their upper limbs because they do not, the lower one day soon.
Understanding how the brain recognizes objects in visual form will allow artificial vision systems, robotics and more intelligence.
