My robotic/pneumatic hand & arm
This is a long-running series of videos, started in 2015, because
I come up with (and get suggestions for) new ideas for software
and hardware, have to fix things, etc. With currently 7
powermotors (1x 50:1, 6x 125:1) and 2 small motors for the lower
pitch-gears and a heavy arm it's my top-model at conventions.
25 October 2024: After the convention in Sinsheim, the base
of the arm has to be reconstructed / replaced by L-elements. Free
version has 8:08 minutes, the full-length video of 54:37 minutes
is for paying patrons or buyers only. Click the image to watch the
video. See also the
blog.
7 June 2024: After the convention in Eindhoven, motors have
to be checked and LED wiring for the valves and finger sensors
fixed checked. Free version has 4:49 minutes, the full-length
video of 20 minutes is for paying patrons only. Click the image to
watch the video. See also the
blog.
3 May 2024: After the convention in Wedemark - Mellendorf,
an LED has to be fixed and pneumatics checked. And again, things
don't always go the way you intend. Free version has 3:40 minutes,
the full-length video of 20 minutes is for paying patrons only.

29 March 2024: Since there have been several problems, I
need to do extensive checks on LEDs, the gearbox of the arm-pitch
and the electrics and pneumatics of the fingers. Free version has
4:20 minutes, the full-length video of 20 minutes is for paying
patrons only. Click the image to watch the video. See also the
blog.

give a much better operational feeling. But will it work out? A
failure is found but can it be solved? Click the image to watch
