here are now over 20 million people in the world with
missing limbs resulting from combat and non-combat
operations and by 2050 there will be 50 million amputees
all over the world. The availability of artificial limbs will
help these people to lead a better normal life. The overall
goal of the research on Prosthetic Hand Technology is
to develop a smart prosthetic hand using intelligent
strategies for electromyographic (EMG) signal extraction,
analysis, identification, kinematic synthesis, and embedded
hierarchical real-time systems and control by fusion of soft
computing and hard computing techniques. The fusion
of soft and hard control synergetic strategy alleviates the
present problems associated with prosthetic devices. The
presentation is based on Professor Naidu’s recent 3-D
Printed Prosthetic Hand for the World and his new research
book published in October 2017 by the IEEE Press - Wiley
(Series on Systems Science and Engineering) titled, “Fusion
of Hard and Soft Control Strategies for a Robotic Hand”.
