About this person

Rajko Tomović (1919-2001) was a Serbian and Yugoslav scientist, who developed research programs in robotics, medical information technology, biomedical engineering, rehabilitation engineering, artificial organs, and other disciplines. He is officially credited for creation of the first artificial hand with five fingers in 1963 in Belgrade. A subsequent version, the USC Belgrade hand -- a collaboration between Tomović and roboticist George A. Bekey at the University of Southern California in Los Angeles -- became a landmark in the history of robotic hands. Tomović was a member of Serbian Academy of Sciences and Arts (SANU).
