Aiko's new robot hand

[Admin]

AI Bot, very impressive work!

He manages to control a robot hand using sensors on his muscles. He doesn't give details on the sensors . . . but it appears to be servos for actuators.

He doesn't give details on the sensors . . .

I think i heard "myoelectric" in there.

It's really impressive. What I think is most impressive with AI Bot is that he seems to be a genius in so many areas of robotics - robot vision, speech, conversation and more, and now this! It's so cool and inspiring that one man can pull off so many things!

Hi

Yes, those are servo.... Futaba micro....
I tried using Hi-tec servo... and they keep burning out... costing too much money. So I switch over to Futaba and Jr servo.
Hi-tec micro servo are badly made, noisy and they don't last long.


The currently hand is metal, going to switch over to fiber glass as soon as I save enough money for new parts...

This experiment should have done in proper medical lab, not at home.
It's getting better. Learning to control the muscle a bit better.
Still working on that 1/2 second delay.

Did some more experiment at McDonald this time.
Free Ad for McDonald... lucky them.... and yes I have to paid for the french fried and the coffee.
Should have gone to Burger king, maybe they would have given me free testing food.

p.s. In case you are wondering that is Wal-mart Golf gloves, got it on sale for $6.
Fit perfectly for the hand.

I just wrote about you on IEEE Automaton:

(let me know if I should make any changes/corrections/additions)

Yea I'm having the same problem with Hi-tec servos. I'm going to swap over to Futaba for my ERP when I get time.

I'm really curious to see the mechanical design, are you willing to share it with us?

keep up the good work
