N2 - The development of prostheses for upper limbs is extensive and complex. Actually, the results obtained by our group in the design on a multicar ticulated hand prosthesis are encouraging. Its design has to satisfy essential functions for the development of various activities. Besides, such prosthesis has to. be versatile and a high precision in the execution of movements has to be satisfied. On the other hand, amputation of one extremity at any level, definitely, affects the quality of life of an individual, inducing a high emotional impact. In this chapter, an overview of the development of hand prostheses is provided. Main aspects of the state of art are mentioned. In the second part, the technological developments involved in the implementation of a multiarticulated hand prosthesis and robotic fingers by our group are discussed. With this information, the future trends in the design of robotic hands and the application of evolutive algorithms in the design of hand prostheses are discussed.
