BBC NEWS | Health | Clever artificial hand developed

BBC NEWS | Health | Clever artificial hand developed: "Scientists have developed an ultra-light limb that they claim can mimic the movement in a real hand better than any currently available.
At present, prosthetic hands either do not move at all or have a simple single-motor grip.
But the University of Southampton team has designed a prototype that uses six sets of motors and gears so each of the five fingers can move independently.
Details of their design were presented at an Institute of Physics conference. "
