Articulated Bionic Robotic Hand
A 5-finger bio-inspired articulated robotic hand driven by tendon cable lines and micro servos for dexterous grasping and tactile sensor experimentation.
5-finger tendon-driven prosthetic hand assembly
Overview
Featuring 5 independently articulated fingers controlled by high-tensile tendon lines and dedicated micro servos, this bionic hand mimics natural human hand kinematics. Integrated flex sensors allow the controller to execute delicate grasping routines.
Highlights
- 5-Finger independent tendon-driven articulation
- Bio-inspired flexible finger joint mechanics
- Haptic force & pressure sensor integration
- Palm-integrated compact servo actuator array
The Challenge
Eliminating tendon binding and friction during multi-finger flexion required designing custom 3D-printed internal cable guide channels.
The Outcome
Successfully grips complex objects from fragile items to soft spheres.
