SPOC: Separating Prehensile Object Clasper

Info: A quick design and prototyping project looking for low hanging fruit in prosthetics.

Problem: Prosthetics are expensive and impractical. In part, it is because of a tendency to optimise for anthropomorphism over utility. Many prosthetic hands use 4 individually actuated fingers which all move in the same direction - meaning each actuator does not provide extra capability in completing tasks.

Solution: Redistribute the available degrees of freedom by decreasing the number of redundant fingers and giving them the ability to have
