Robotic grasping hand

This is a robotic hand designed to pick things up. It has a central body and multiple fingers, where each finger's tip can slide up and down its length, and the whole finger can also pivot around the central body. The detailed design involves gears inside the hand's body that drive lead screws within each finger, moving the tips, which also have a downward-facing part for gripping.

Why it matters: The control system for accuracy and stiffness, a key challenge in 2021, is now easier to implement with modern microcontrollers and AI-assisted control. Compact, powerful servo motors have also become more accessible.

Status: Not in forceListed as no longer active. The specific reason is not in the record we hold.
How hard to build: SpecializedCustom gears, lead screws, servo motors, control software
