This is something I have been working on for a while now. I'm making it from dowel rods and wire pins. So far I have the fingers made, but haven't gotten the time to making the palm or wrist. I have the design all planned out, but haven't really had a lot of time to actually build it.
I was wondering if anyone would be willing to help me control the hand though. I was thinking about using nitinol wires through the fingers to control motion, or using linear actuators past the wrist to pull/push steel wires in the fingers for motion control. I can build the mechanical part without much difficulty, but I'm pretty new to embedded systems, and microcontrollers are foreign to me. I was wondering if someone could recommend anything to me that would be good for starting on.
I'm pretty quick to learn, but I really don't even know where to start. Any help would be greatly appreciated.
