ArthroHand
ArthroHand was my eighth-grade robotics invention for assisted grasping. The prototype explored turning a small finger movement into a larger gripping motion. It is an early example of my interest in mechanical design.
An assisted-grasping concept
ArthroHand explored a mechanism that could help a person with arthritis grasp an object using a small finger movement.
An early prototype
The mechanism and event photos document the invention prototype. The build uses LEGO robotics parts, with a MINDSTORMS EV3 control brick visible in the photograph.
Technical details
- Hardware shown: LEGO MINDSTORMS EV3 control brick and an articulated hand mechanism.
- Input concept: A small movement of the user’s finger.
- Intended output: Assisted finger movement for grasping.
