Abstract : In this paper, we will examine the design and fabrication of a prosthetic robotic finger using Polylactic Acid (PLA) and a modern 3D printing technique. The finger will be controlled by small motors, involving a driver, battery, and microcontroller for 3D modules. The design provides for an artificial finger controlled by soft robotics which is designed to assist people who have lost fingers in an accident. In conclusion, there exists an artificial finger that aims to mimic movement and function just like a human finger.
