  • เผยแพร่เมื่อ 3 มิ.ย. 2020
  • The first video in a series I'm making on my new, redesigned biomimetic bionic hand. In this video I introduce a new interphalangeal joint - a simple hinge although there are some very specific requirements. The design will be 3D printed and designed in Fusion 360.

    The removal of torsion spring is probably one of the best upgrades because of the loss of actuator power with the previous design

    For the pulleys you can use chain links. They are made with a large amount of variety and add a great deal of durability. They can also be taken apart to be stacked, and can apply greater force, enough to use a hydraulic pump if you wanted.

    Will be interesting to see what you come up with, I’ve found that it’s always a good idea, especially with resin printing, to run a drill bit through your holes to insure they are the right size. I printed some fingers in resin last year and because I didn’t drill those holes before curing, I had to go back and drill them after. Was quite the surprise when I went to put in the linkages between finger segments.

    The design is absolutely amazing. The pulley joint is an amazing way to control the joint, and one of the most impressive things I saw was seeing something I did for my university project aswell (in a robot arm though not a hand). Where you removed the potentiometer from the servo and and turned it into a 360 degree servo and used potentiometer for external position feedback. One thing I would recommend for long duration use is to use non back drive motors rather than servos for controlling the movement as servos would use up alot of power if you want to hold a position where as the non back drive motor can hold it mechanically.

    Hi - fellow engineer here (about to go into my 4th year integrated Master's Degree in Engineering Science at Oxford).
    I've been following this for a while and I'm really glad to see you pick it up again! I'll probably donate to the Patreon if that's what it's for.
    What I think you're trying to do here is pretty much what I tried to do for my A Level Product Design Project (except that I made mine using 40+ year old metal machining tools so that the final hand could be made out of mild steel for strength and durability - also, my school didn't have 3D printers when I started manufacture...). It's also one of the proposals I made for my 3rd year group design prosthetics project (though sadly not the one my group decided to pursue). I never really considered the project finished and so never really put it to bed, and I always intended to return to it after I finished my degree.
    Tl;dr:- I'd love to be involved in this!
    I've been thinking about this for - probably over a decade - and I really approve of the direction that you seem to be aiming your design improvements towards. The torsional springs vs pulleys problem is definitely something that I noticed when I watched your earlier videos some time ago. I also love and am very much on board with your interpretation of "bio-mimetic" here, with the focus on function over execution - I doubt that it would be particularly useful to mimic the 'overlapping' phalangeal tendons that we have in our biological hands, since that would be a nightmare to control!
    Let me know if you're interested - I have lots of thoughts and potential improvements that I've developed over literal years (for example that it might be more useful to have the potentiometers on the forearm rather than built into the joints, for about 5 different reasons). I'm a fan of these kinds of things being open source, and since you mentioned your intention for this to be that, I'd love to start a conversation, or at least, provide more detailed feedback.
    I look forward to hearing from you. But even if I don't (because maybe I'm too pompous haha) then no hard feelings, I wish you the best of luck with this project!

    I actually think the wire idea to hold 3D printed parts together is pretty neat but it got me thinking:
    You can buy small brass rivets (sub 1mm dia). Those would be perfect for an application such as this if you could fix them in place without damaging your print.
    On top of this, you could heat up your rivet/wire after to melt the surrounding plastic so the parts adhere to each other

    Hi, I'm very interested in seeing what you come up with. Liked your original design, because it looked more organic than most hands out there. Glad to see you learned your lesson on guiding the wires like it's done in bicycles, if you had done that right in the original design i guess you would have had more sucess at the hand wrist.
    Since you asked for suggestions I would recommend considering you to bring the potentiometer back to the servo. Also integrating the wiring inside of the "bones", but i know that's really tricky. Third thing would be using N20 geardmotors with encoders, could save some space instead of servos. Good luck.
