The project, to create a fully dexterous robotic hand. It will be able to grasp anything a human hand can, and perform any action that a human hand can, plus some. The goal is to create a device that can be controlled at a distance very naturally as if the operator was right there.
The PLANNED controls will consist of one of the following, multiple, or a combination:
1) A glove with sensors so that the robotic hand moves in relation to the operators.
2) Through computer software using USB
It will be controlled via servos that will be using a cable system to control the joints. Each finger will have 2 servos. One for the proximal inter phalangeal (PIP) and distal inter phalangeal (DIP) joints, and one for the metacarpal phalangeal (MP) joint.
At this point, I am still pressing to move beyond the “on paper” stage. However, I did finish a prototype finger.
