Robot Hand Journey

I’ve long been fascinated by robotic hands and made some prototypes. Some were cool, others failed. Here's my journey. Enjoy!

robotic hand Prosthesis finger servo Motors Robotics Prototyping bionics

This project was created on 10/01/2024 and last updated a year ago.

Description

I’ve always been fascinated by robotic hands and have created several prototypes over time. Some turned out pretty cool, while others didn’t and were ultimately abandoned.

On this page, I will share my robotic hand journey with you, and hopefully, it’ll give you some inspiration, and maybe even push me to take the project further.

Enjoy!

  • Sponsoring by PCBWay (PCBs and 3D-Printed Metal Parts)

    Tanguy • 10/21/2024 at 09:35 • 0 comments

    Thanks to PCBWay for sponsoring my project with PCB manufacturing and 3D-printed metal parts!

    The parts are awesome, even in such small models. The M2 tapped holes are perfect! A big thanks to them for supporting my project.

  • Base plates for the palm

    Tanguy • 10/06/2024 at 10:43 • 0 comments

    The base plates for the palm is currently 3D printed, but I plan to use PCBs for it, in next versions.

  • Bearings in the fingers? Yes, please!

    Tanguy • 10/02/2024 at 21:06 • 0 comments

    Added some small bearings in the fingers' last joints (to be driven by nylon cables) and made a small part  to link the servo axis in the palm to the axis of the first phalange.
