Prosthetic Arm

 

with collaboration with Quinn Trent, Shayne Miller and Alejandro Vucanovic

Features Overview

 

Fingers

The fingers used are an edited version of models from the InMoov project, made to fit the cables and we chose to use in our project.

Gyroscope

The hand opens and closes according to the accelerometer and gyroscope on the microcontroller. It needs to move slowly in the local XY plane to open and close.

Pull and Returns

The pulley system uses nylon strings attached to linear actuators. The returns are the interior of bungee cords.
