DIY Prosthetic Hand & Forearm (Voice Controlled)

"Do you live with only one hand, or ever feel two just isn't enough? Well now
you can make another! This project combines two very cool things: an arduino
voice recognition shield and an open-source 3D printed robotics project
called InMoov. Basically what I've done is modify the InMoov hand/forearm to
be usable as a prosthetic (or additional appendage) and add a VR (voice
recognition) shield to receive verbal commands and then make corresponding
motions with the hand. The advantage of voice control is that it doesn't
require muscles and is more flexible to different physical conditions (also
hands free!). My program includes 15 general hand gestures and actions for
everyday living!"
