What Is a Robotic Hand Prosthetic?

A robotic hand prosthetic, also called a bionic hand or multi-articulating hand, is a battery-powered hand that moves when you tighten the muscles in your remaining arm. Sensors inside the socket pick up those muscle signals, and small motors open, close and position the fingers.

A simple myoelectric hand only opens and closes. A multi-articulating hand moves each finger on its own, so it can hold a cup, pinch a coin or press keys. That extra control is why many people look at robotic prosthetics when they want the most everyday function from an artificial hand.

A robotic hand for amputees can be fitted at wrist, below elbow and above elbow level, and robotic fingers can replace missing fingers after partial hand loss. For mechanical and cosmetic options, see our artificial hand page.

Advanced Technology

Multi-Articulating Robotic Hand

A multi-articulating robotic hand reads your muscle signals through sensors in the socket and moves each finger to form the grip you choose. It suits everyday tasks at home and at work, and the grips can be changed as your needs change.

Entry-Level

i-Limb Access

The i-Limb Access is Össur’s entry-level multi-articulating hand. It gives reliable myoelectric grips in a light design and costs less than the premium models, which makes it the usual starting point when people compare i-Limb hand prices.

Enhanced Performance

i-Limb Ultra

The i-Limb Ultra adds more grip patterns and extra strength, with a rotating thumb and customisable modes for different activities at work and at home.

Most Advanced

i-Limb Quantum

The i-Limb Quantum is the most advanced hand in the range. Össur describes it as the first multi-articulating hand you can control with simple gestures: a small movement of the hand switches grip. Grips can also be chosen and changed in the My i-Limb app, so it works as both a gesture control prosthetic hand and a bionic hand with app control.

Robotic Fingers

i-Digits Access (Partial Hand Prosthesis)

The i-Digits Access is a partial hand bionic prosthesis for people who have lost one or more fingers but kept the palm. Each missing finger is replaced with a powered robotic finger, sensors pick up your muscle signals, and a custom socket holds the bionic fingers comfortably on your hand.

Premium Partial Hand

i-Digits Quantum (Advanced Bionic Fingers)

The i-Digits Quantum is Össur’s most advanced partial hand, with gesture control, a stronger grip and more grip options for people whose work puts heavier demands on the hand.

Bionic Hand Price in India: What a Robotic Hand Costs

Most of the bionic hand cost in India comes down to three things: the type of hand, your amputation level and the socket. These are the guide prices we use, so you can compare options before your assessment. They match the price guide on our artificial hand page.

Robotic hand price in India by type

Type of handWho it usually suitsGuide price*
Body-powered (mechanical) hand, for comparisonBelow elbow users who want strength and simple upkeep₹25,000 to ₹80,000
Myoelectric bionic hand (opens and closes, or a few grips)Below elbow and wrist level, often a first powered hand₹1,50,000 to ₹8,00,000
Multi-articulating robotic hand (i-Limb Access, i-Limb Quantum, Ottobock bebionic)Below elbow and wrist level, when you want the most grip choice₹8,00,000 and above
Partial hand bionic prosthesis (i-Digits Access, i-Digits Quantum)One or more fingers missing, palm intactQuoted after assessment
Above elbow bionic arm (powered hand plus elbow)Above elbow and shoulder level₹8,00,000 and above

A multi-articulating hand price usually includes the hand, a custom socket, electrodes, battery and charger, the wrist unit, a protective glove, fitting and your first training sessions. Ask us to list each part in your quote.

i-Limb Quantum price in India

The i-Limb Quantum sits at the top of the premium band because of gesture control, app control and the widest choice of grips. The i-Limb Access costs less, and it is where most people start when comparing i-Limb hand prices. Both are imported, so the final figure can move with exchange rates; your price is fixed in writing after assessment.

Bionic arm and robotic arm price in India

A bionic arm for above elbow amputation costs more than a below elbow bionic hand because it adds an elbow unit, and sometimes a powered wrist. A robotic arm for amputees at shoulder level costs more again, since the socket and harness are more complex. Body-powered arms are a lower-cost option; see our artificial hand page.

Myoelectric vs body-powered hand cost

A body-powered hand costs ₹25,000 to ₹80,000, needs no charging and copes well with heavy work. A myoelectric or bionic hand starts at about ₹1,50,000 and needs regular servicing, but it gives a more natural grip without a harness. Most people decide on how they will use the hand each day, not on price alone.

Ottobock bebionic hand price in India

The Ottobock bebionic is another multi-articulating hand, and its price in India falls in the same premium band as the i-Limb. If you are comparing the two, bring your questions to the assessment and we will explain how they differ for your arm and your work.

*Guide prices, last reviewed September 2026. Your final cost depends on your assessment, socket, components and training, and is confirmed in writing before anything is ordered. Government schemes may cover part of the cost for eligible patients; ask our team.

Robotic Hand and Bionic Hand FAQs

How does a robotic hand work?

A robotic hand works by reading the small electrical signals your muscles make when you tighten them. Sensors in the socket pick up these signals from your remaining arm, a small computer in the hand works out which movement you want, and motors move the fingers to open, close or change grip. You learn which muscle movement controls which action during training.

A bionic hand in India usually costs ₹1,50,000 to ₹8,00,000 for a myoelectric hand, and ₹8,00,000 or more for a multi-articulating robotic hand such as the i-Limb Access or i-Limb Quantum. Above elbow bionic arms also start at about ₹8,00,000. Partial hand (i-Digits) fittings are quoted after assessment. For comparison, a body-powered hand costs ₹25,000 to ₹80,000. These are guide prices; your final cost is confirmed in writing after assessment.

Yes. The i-Limb and i-Digits range is made by Össur, and we fit these hands at our Lucknow clinic, including the i-Limb Access, i-Limb Quantum, i-Digits Access and i-Digits Quantum. Assessment, socket, fitting, training and follow-up all happen in one place.

It varies from person to person. Many users need 4 to 8 weeks of regular sessions for confident basic control. People using the i-Limb Quantum often keep practising for a few months to learn every grip and gesture. Your therapist sets the pace based on your progress and goals.

There is no single best bionic hand in India. The right one depends on your amputation level, the strength of your muscle signals, the work you do and your budget. For many people the i-Limb Access gives reliable everyday grips at a lower price, while the i-Limb Quantum suits those who want gesture control and the widest choice of grips. Your assessment includes an honest comparison, including simpler and lower-cost options.

Yes. The i-Digits Access and i-Digits Quantum are made for partial hand loss, whether it follows an injury, illness or a limb difference present from birth. Each missing finger is replaced with a powered robotic finger, and a custom socket fits around your palm. If only one or two fingers are missing, a silicone finger may suit you better; see our cosmetic restoration page.

Yes, many children can. A bionic hand for a child is usually a simpler myoelectric hand in a small size, because most multi-articulating hands are made for adult hand sizes. The right age and type vary from child to child, and the socket needs replacing as they grow. See our child prosthetics page.

Many users get a full day of normal use from one charge and charge the hand overnight, much like a phone. Bionic hand battery life is shorter with heavy use, in cold weather and as batteries age. Batteries wear out over the years and can be replaced during servicing.

Most bionic hands are not waterproof. Some models, or a protective glove, give a degree of water resistance against splashes, but you should keep the hand out of water unless the maker says otherwise. We explain your model’s rating and care routine at fitting.

They can be. Several Indian companies now make 3D-printed bionic hands that are lighter and cost less than imported hands, usually with fewer grip options. They suit some below elbow users well. We will tell you honestly whether one suits your arm, your work and your budget.
