Hey all! just wanted to show off my finished robotic hand design! Designed entirely from scratch, including DIY linear actuators using standard servos. Powered by arduino and programmed using synthiam/ez-robot software! Thank you for continuing to develop such great software for us inventors to use in our projects!

Kenny's Humanoid #3, The Miniplan
Hi everybody, It's been awhile and I'm back to humanoids again. Last march, I bought my first 3d printer kit and it's...

Orwnic82's Robie Junior
Soon to be introduced to the EZ-B, Radioshack Robie Junior. As I am still working with my quadrotor it may take time or...

Bumsteadsean's Synthiam Spray Steam Mop
When looking at the EZ-Robot office webcams I found that Team DJ is working on a project that I was thinking of doing...
Here's an update! I made an alternate version of this hand that has slightly less motion, but is lightweight and uses fewer servos. We'll call this one "Mk 2b"
Another update! Here's the start of "Mk3" - the "finalized" version of my hand design (at least for now) - the forearm is done too, I still just have to finish the video!
Just wondering why you lost the 4th finger? I'm really interested in your thoughts here.
Nallycat - Will do! I've been meaning to share more about my inmoov project on here, as it is also synthiam /EZB powered. However the hand in this thread is my own separate project, which was meant to challenge myself and is 100% my own design, that being said, it's (at this moment) not inmoov compatible or intended to be. However it does use the same size servos (such as an mg996r, ezb servo, or similar size) as a standard inmoov build.
joinny- Right now I am not sure how I want to release this project to the public, it will be available to everyone at this early development point, but right now since it is my own original design I am working through the whole copyright process before either releasing it open source or as an educational kit.
Robo Rad- I am a little confused as to what you're asking, so I hope I'm understanding, the hand in this project is completely separate from the inmoov and is sort of its own project, and at this moment aren't compatible (maybe someday though! I was just responding to DJ's comment). My inmoov's forearms are Gael's original design and use the same servos, however I have made my own custom hands and Aerius' elbow re-design, if you're interested I'll totally post more about my inmoov on here soon like Nallycat suggested!
Finished build video:
Keep it up!!
A bit of good news for you all as well!
