Economic Prosthetic Hand

Description

I have printed the prosthetic hand « Flexy Hand 2 » to improve it. I would like to add different sensors on the hand to control it in a more.. way. These would include pressure and temperature sensors to provide further feedback and, for example, prevent from burning yourself with coffee. The main mechanism for this process is connecting the different sensors to an Arduino which would be on the back of the prosthetic hand. Adding LEDs to visualise the information gathered from sensors and provide tacticle feedback through the use of vibrations. This project is OpenSource to anyone.

Nice design. Look forward to seeing the mechanics inside!!

Thanks a lot! For the moment i'm working on the sensors but after i will work on the mecanism.

Are you sure? yes | no

Will be interesting to see what sensors you are going with and how you incorporate them. A real challenge!

Are you sure? yes | no

I wil use FSR- sensor for pressure and a thermistor for temperature

Are you sure? yes | no
