This paper describes the design and development of a virtual simulator of a human hand with 25 degrees of freedom (DOF). The design is based on kinematics modeling that is formulated as DH parameters and table of each finger. To verify the modeling results, simulation experiments were performed on MATLAB using SynGrasp toolbox which is then compared with the results obtained using manual calculations. Virtual and hardware prototypes of the prosthetic hand are also designed using SolidWorks and 3D printing to demonstrate motion simulations of the hand using input signals that take the form of joints’ angle variation. Simulation results are presented to illustrate the effective motion of the hand kinematics’ virtual model.
