Making a pretty powerful servo

Hello there,

I found that little servo (ARS-3216HTG+HV) and it is pretty interesting with is 25kg-cm of torque and 280 degree of travel. The problem is that I need something of this caliber, but with feedback and, if possible, more complex control option, similar to those offered by the SSC-32U. I’ve made my own research and I found an old, but pretty interesting, project called openservo. It website is now unavailable, but I find its file on Github. Does anyone know if there is more recent or more viable option?

If anyone need to know why I need these feature, I’m actually working on a robot arm that have an hand with five finger, which ones are comporting four phalanx that need to be stopped when they touch something and not crushing an object with overwhelming torque, melt the motor or obliterate the gearbox when I’m trying to grab something.

It sounds like a smart servo might be a good option:

For this particular model (and to be a bit biased because it’s from Lynxmotion, thogh you did mention the SSC-32U):

C1) “25kg-cm of torque”
This one offers up to 29Kg-cm of static torque and >7kg-cm dynamic

C2) "280 degree of travel. "
This one offers 360 degree absolute positioning.

C3) "{…} with feedback "
Check.

C4) “more complex control option, similar to those offered by the SSC-32U.”
The LSS protocol was designed based on the SSC-32U - all of the commands should be easy to recognize.

C5) “robot arm that have an hand with five finger”
This was its intended purpose.

There are likely other servos, but if you want “advanced” control, you’re likely looking at a higher end digital programmable servo, or a smart servo.
