(Robotics Noob Here) Could Use Some Help With A Design

[zachary_mitchell]

Hello,

I’m a total robotics greenhorn, however I would like to create something I’ve had in mind for a while. What I would need is to create a load-bearing arm that pronates/supinates like a human hand, although on a smaller scale, and for it to be a timer-activated system. I just have no idea where to start, needless to say. Any pearls of wisdom would be greatly appreciated.

Regards,

Hi Zachary,

There are many ways to build a “hand” but here are a couple of products you can look at (for design ideas).

• robotshop.com/en/youbionic- … nd-v2.html
• robotshop.com/en/mechax-rob … raded.html
• robotshop.com/en/mecha-te-g … -hand.html

And there are examples online like this one:
