Can This Lego Robotic Arm & Hand Be Improved?

Hello,

Is there any way to speed up this Lego arm? More power? Programming? Any ideas?

Could someone respond to this question? I would assume there are some experts who knows about this.

Robot Hand

If this hand is your design then I must congratulate you for a great innovation. I suspect you would also be the only person who could reasonably answer the question about speeding it up. Please post some details on the build process and perhaps we could assist with specific problems that you would like help with.

If you are just looking at another persons work then the proper person to ask is the project designer. Why you would think anyone outside the design team could even suggest a speed up solution is beyond my comprehension.

No it is not my design or

No it is not my design or project. Any one with a fair level of expertise should have no problem with suggesting performance improvements.

Hi,I’m by no means an expert

Hi,

I’m by no means an expert in robotics, but considering Lego mechanics and pneumatics are still toys I don’t think you can expect much improvement to a such design.

If you are going to use powerful mechanics/pneumatics I don’t see the reason to use Lego bricks to build the frame.

If you need to have a better arm with a Lego appearance for, let’s say, display purposes, you can have an arm built with a metallic structure, with motors/mechanics of your choice and cover it with Lego bricks to keep the Lego look.
