About

J. Prasanna is a robotics researcher specializing in assistive and rehabilitation technologies, with a primary focus on prosthetic design and human-machine interaction. His most notable contribution is the development of HyPro, a multi-degree-of-freedom hybrid-powered transradial robotic prosthesis introduced in his 2018 work. This innovative device integrates both hand and wrist units, enabling five distinct grasping patterns—power grasp, tip grasp, lateral grasp, hook grasp, and index point—through an underactuated mechanism that balances functionality with mechanical simplicity. The HyPro design addresses critical challenges in prosthetic dexterity and user adaptability, earning 12 citations and establishing a foundation for further advances in affordable, high-performance bionic limbs. Prasanna’s work is driven by a commitment to improving quality of life for amputees, combining engineering ingenuity with practical usability. His research continues to influence the development of next-generation prosthetics, making him a rising figure in the field of rehabilitation robotics.
