About

H. M. Kandamby is a robotics researcher specializing in assistive and prosthetic technologies, with a focus on developing innovative solutions for upper-limb amputees. Their key research areas include multi-degree-of-freedom (DoF) prosthetic design, underactuated mechanisms, and hybrid-powered systems that combine both active and passive actuation. Kandamby’s major contribution is the HyPro, a multi-DoF hybrid-powered transradial robotic prosthesis introduced in their 2018 paper, which has garnered 12 citations. This device integrates hand and wrist units to achieve five essential grasping patterns—power, tip, lateral, hook, and index point—enhancing functional versatility for daily tasks. The underactuated design reduces complexity while maintaining adaptability, a notable achievement in prosthetic engineering. Though early in their career, Kandamby’s work addresses critical gaps in affordable, dexterous prosthetic systems, offering a promising pathway toward more natural and efficient human-machine interaction. Their research continues to influence the development of next-generation assistive devices, making a tangible impact on rehabilitation robotics.
