Articulated LEGO Hand Update
The LEGO hand shown here for the first time in April has undergone some improvement. Advancements of note include articulation and the wrist now moves naturally. I have not yet acquired any motors to actually move the device, but the hand will function by hand. I will be tearing it down at some point here to facilitate making instructions.
The articulation is done with zip ties. After extensive testing with cables and wire clamps, I thought I would mimic nature. The result has been very good as the zip ties act very much like real tendons.
The wrist functions on the same principle as a real one. The two support bones twist from an axis on the elbow joint. The next adventure will be figuring out to power it!
