Open Source Robotic Hand
The goal of this project was to develop a robotic hand with comparable specifications and performance to some of the commercially available robotic and bionic hands on the market, but at a fraction of the cost.
For various reasons, commercially available hands typically cost upwards of several thousands of dollars to tens of thousands of dollars. This open-source design can be built for less than a couple hundred dollars in materials.
Open Source Small Robotic Hand
Currently in the testing phase, the primary goal of this project is to develop a smaller robotic hand comparable in size and grip strength to a child's hand for smaller humanoid robotic and bionic projects.
The secondary goal of this project is to simplify the printing and assembly process by making the components ambidextrous: the same print file will work for both left and right hands without mirroring parts in the slicer.
Educational Kits
Developer and STEM education kits for some of our open source designs.
These kits will never be required to assemble our open source designs. These kits are only intended to minimize potential resource and capability hurtles for those who wish to assemble, test, and optimize our prototype designs.
