About

About Mia Hand

Mia Hand is a compact anthropomorphic platform offered in prosthetic, industrial and research configurations. Its multi-articulated fingers support common daily and industrial grasp patterns through a lightweight mechanism designed around the dimensions of a human hand.

The prosthetic version uses myoelectric control for upper-limb replacement. Industrial and R&D versions integrate with robot arms and research systems through dedicated controllers and interfaces. Prensilia supplies application engineering, mechanical adapters and development support across the three configurations.
