Raiko Tomović ( Serb. Raјko Tomovi ; November 1, 1919 , Bahia - May 30, 2001 , Belgrade ) - Yugoslav Serbian robot scientist and biotechnologist. He was interested in information technology in medicine, medical robotics and artificial intelligence. He is known as one of the developers of the first Yugoslav digital computer CEP-10 (1960) and the inventor of the world's first bionic prosthesis of the hand, known as the “ Belgrade Hand ” (created at the Institute of Mikhail Pupin in 1963).

Biography
He studied at the gymnasiums of the cities of Bachki-Petrovac , Novi Vrbas and Sombor . Since 1936 he lived in Belgrade, where he graduated from high school. He entered the Electrotechnical Department of the University of Belgrade in 1938. Since 1941, he fought in the ranks of the People's Liberation Army of Yugoslavia , in 1942 he was caught in Belgrade and exiled to the Banitsa concentration camp , then to the Saimiste death camp . Then he was sent to forced labor in the Trepcha mine. He was released, finished the war with the rank of captain. After the war in 1946, Tomovich graduated from the University of Belgrade and became a teacher there [1] . In 1952 he received the title of Doctor of Science at the Serbian Academy of Sciences and Arts in the field of analog computers. He worked until 1960 at the Vinca Institute of Nuclear Sciences , since 1960 he was an employee of the institute Mikhail Pupin , the leader of the first group of researchers in the field of robotics.
Tomovich was one of the leaders of the team that created the first Yugoslav digital computer CER-10 [2] . However, the main glory was brought to him by the world's first bionic prosthetic arm called “Belgrade Hand”: all five fingers of the prosthesis had sensitivity sensors and allowed to capture any objects. The Tomovich prosthesis became the precursor of modern bionic prostheses and artificial support systems [3] . In addition, Tomovich investigated the reflexive management of an artificial knee joint and a hybrid non-numeric control system for the rehabilitation of paralyzed patients [4] .
Tomovich is the author of more than 120 scientific papers published in Yugoslav and foreign scientific journals, as well as 21 books published in France, the USA, the USSR, Germany and Yugoslavia. Tomovich also translated the scientific works of Soviet authors. He was an adviser to the Organization for Economic Cooperation of Europe, as well as a UN adviser on technological development. Head of a number of international organizations for automatic control and analog computers. A participant in research in the rehabilitation centers of Miami , Vancouver and Edmonton in the field of theory of control of functional movements [4] . A number of his works are also devoted to mathematical methods in economics [5] .
