You want to measure WHAT?
Log from Mechanized Prosthetic Foot
As a natural step of progression, the group found it natural to create a data logging device in order to be able to track the movements of a typical human. This information gave us the ability to gain valuable knowledge about gait and stride on regular...

Finally Under Control
Log from Mechanized Prosthetic Foot
Upon completion of the data sensor we needed to find a way to combine the PID control with the data sensor. This was achieved by taking the output of the data sensor and inputting it into the control loop. This type of control allows for the prosthetic...

Gravity Test…1…2...
Log from Mechanized Prosthetic Foot
Structure Changes: The structure has gone through a few changes with the addition of a new damper and hydraulics. The bottom of the foot was modified first to accommodate the new damper. The damper’s diameter was within the width of the bottom of the...

The Next Steps
Log from Mechanized Prosthetic Foot
Thank you for following us this far through our journey to revolutionize prosthetic s. Let’s recap what we have accomplished these past few weeks and then discuss what we will be accomplishing in the future. The team started off with just an idea, an...

Building a custom micro-linear actuator
Log from TNS 1i
So, as the description of the project says, one of the premises of the product is to avoid using those strings that every other open hardware prosthetic hand uses. Yes, we know that the human body uses tendons but we didn't like having a shaky wobbly...

Building the Palm
Log from TNS 1i
Now that we had a reliable linear actuator ( we thought that!!! but you will see) we started to think about the whole hand and to do this we had to place all the mechanics of each finger, sculpt a shape that includes all the components and pleases the...

Printing with Carbon Fiber PLA
Log from TNS 1i
First of all, we want to make it clear, we love this material. We really do but 3D-printing isn't easy and learning a new experimental material is an exciting and great trip and every great trip has his challenges. Everyone that has seen something about...

Weight and finishing of the hand
Log from TNS 1i
At the moment our 3D printer is in the shop under some maintenance, so things have been a lite bit slow. However this gave us time to perfect the CAD's, verify the premises of the build and even try some finishing touches.So about the finishing of the...

Madrid Maker Faire 2016
Log from OpenChair
We haven't advanced much this weekend technically, but we've gotten a lot of feedback from both wheelchair users and physiotherapists by presenting the chair at the Madrid Maker Faire. Here are some pictures of the event!We even took a picture with David...

Research of Previous Models
Log from Design and Implementation of a Prosthetic Hand
1. IntroductionThe Hackaday page has lots of projects that describe how to make prosthesis. Actually, there is a wide set of projects. Some that replicate a human hand, others that replicate a human leg and even some exoskeletons to enhance human movement....

Actuators and its exoskeleton
Log from Soft-Handy
This project started with the construction of a finger with the idea that I will work my way up the hand until it is a functional prosthesis or humanoid hand. The hand is to be constructed out of 3D printed exo-skeleton and silicone cast fingers all...

First review is in
Log from Electronic Thumb
We got our first review in the slack channel: (there must be some weird time paradox in play here as well, as we've not sent out any beta versions yet..)Review Electronic Thumb.By accident I got a beta version of this device in my mail. It’s nice looking...

Project Requirements and Goals
Log from UAProsthetics - A Powered Hand
Before going straight into the design process with whatever ideas came to mind a decision was made to come up with a set or requirements and goals for our prosthetic hand. We came up with a total of 5 primary goals which we will continue to look...

Early Design Brainstorming
Log from UAProsthetics - A Powered Hand
Once we came up with a set of goals and requirements for our prosthetic hand the next logical step was to determine what we wanted the the hand to be capable of actually doing. Ideally the hand should be extremely easy to use and should be capable of...
