Prosthetic devices can make life easier for many folks. But they are not always cheap. Team Open Bionics is planning to develop a 3D-printed prosthetic with features of a high-end device. They are using an Intel Edison board to control motors of the robotic hand and do some processing of input signals. The hand has tendons and a rubber surface. Its actuators pull the tendons that make the fingers move.
