Photo of the anatomically correct testbed hand.

The Anatomically Correct Testbed Hand has three fully actuated fingers that have the same biomechanical structure as the human hand. This hand is used to understand the human hand's biomechanical structure and neural control strategies, and will serve as a prosthetic and surgical tool one day.
