About

Gilar Pandu Annanto is a researcher advancing the field of assistive robotics and biomedical engineering, with a primary focus on myoelectric prosthetic hands. His work addresses critical challenges in bionic hand design, particularly the mechanical performance of finger mechanisms, actuator efficiency, and power consumption. Annanto’s most cited study, "Performance Test of Fingers on 3D Printed Myoelectric Prosthetic Hand" (2019), systematically evaluates how 3D-printed finger structures impact motion and functional dexterity in prosthetic devices. This research, garnering 6 citations, provides foundational insights for developing more affordable, customizable, and effective upper-limb prosthetics. By integrating additive manufacturing with myoelectric control, Annanto contributes to making advanced bionic hands accessible for amputees in resource-limited settings. His work bridges the gap between theoretical biomechanics and practical device testing, influencing subsequent studies on prosthetic finger kinematics. Annanto’s research is particularly notable for its emphasis on empirical performance validation, offering a replicable framework for testing 3D-printed prosthetic components. For students and researchers exploring low-cost prosthetic solutions, his contributions highlight the importance of balancing mechanical robustness with lightweight design—a key step toward next-generation, user-friendly bionic hands.
