Hackaday has published a project write-up on building a low-cost, dexterous robotic hand, aimed at makers and hobbyists. The article covers the design and construction of a functional multi-fingered hand on a budget, leaning on DIY methods including 3D printing. It has drawn early attention in robotics and maker communities, where affordable alternatives to expensive commercial robot hands are a recurring topic of interest.
Why now: Affordable dexterous robotic hands are a hot topic among makers as open-source hardware keeps lowering the cost of robotics projects.
