Our plan for producing this robotic hand includes researching the anatomy of the human hand, existing linkage designs for tension-driven robotic hands, experimenting with various linkage designs, software optimization, prototyping, testing, and improvements. We aim to complete our set objective of creating a pure linkage-based hand that can at least grasp some objectsfor our hand to be able to repeatably hold small objects in varying orientations, with built-in compliance to allow for flexibility in what we test it on. This will likely include a lot of test designing, kinematic simulations, and prototyping. If possible, we would like to perfect the design and functionality of the hand by adding more range of motion and sensor-driven features in the future. Additionally, we would like to put effort into the form factor of our hand. We want it to be sleek and aesthetically pleasing, and for it to connivingly model the human hand.
