I totally agree that telepresence and live control is no problem with ARC, I am using it on my Quest for quiet some time now... It is really great to remotely control your robot to interact with you audience or with the environment!

But the haptic feedback is something that has not been accomplished with ARC...so who is willing to accept the challenge?

I know how to use the xbox 360 Kinect, the wiiRemote to move arms etc.

Where can we get an affordable hand / fingers to use?

Their hands are similar to the inmoov with strings and servos in the wrists. You can 3d print the inmoov hands

thanks,

At this point, I do not own a 3d printer, maybe one day.

I can imagine you are very busy.

Have you ever seen this hand? Seems doable for me.

Please tell me your thoughts on this , when you get a chance, no rush.

thanks again

Looks quite a bit heavy to be on the end of a servo powered arm. Unless you were to use some pretty big servos with good power. For that price, you could get yourself a chinese 3d printer if you're buying two of those hands

hi EZang you need sensors for avery finger.to be able to grip something without burning the servo. also use the micro servo's from ez robot to get good control over the servo's. the link you got is a building kit.its cheaper on banggood.com

hand kit

Thanks for everyone help

Maybe it is time research a 3d printer

My thoughts came from watching Mickey666Maus video above.

Here is my practice hand / fingers from the past, I put this together today, using 3 small servos, a hobby hand I picked up, Ex- builder, auto-position and voice.

I did get this hand, figures working with the Xbox 360 Kinect also, very cool, that I need to fine tune,  :-)

I guess I can do this with any hand

The fingers is what I am interested in, I will research.

for now here is a short video:
