We need a robot hand for a school project. Part of the project is to detect, track and measure a 3d object deformation. The behaviour of the object would be observed by a sensor. We prefer the robot to interface directly to computer through USB. If not, it should be programmable with Arduino or Raspberry Pi. In general, simple programming interface/APIs and minimum extra hardware is desired. Brunel robot hand from your shop seems a good fit for our project. In the video, it looks to gently grab the objects. Can we adjust it to press the objects to some extent, as well? Do you have any other recommendation?
Hi,
The RB-Opn-01 is certainly a nice robotic hand. As mentioned on the product page, it is compatible with the Arduino programming environment. You can find more details in the product documentation, found on the product page under Useful Links. You may also want to have a look at the manufacturer’s GitHub repositories for examples and libraries (ex: FingerLib).
As for alternative products, you may be interested in the following:

We hope this helps.
Sincerely,
