InMoov finger prosthetic project

thingiverse

Since the release of InMoov hand on Thingiverse, numerous requests have emerged on how to use it as a prosthetic. A French FabLab even approached the designer about using InMoov for a project. However, the initial design was not suitable for this purpose. To address this, the creator intends to focus on the prosthetic perspective. The resulting research can be utilized for the Bionico Prosthetic project or any other prosthetic endeavor without commercial intent. The goal is to house all motors within the palm and create mechanically actuated fingers. Keep an eye on the InMoov Robot project at http://inmoov.blogspot.com, as well as updates at http://www.inmoov.fr/inmoov2-hand-progress/. The finger features two types of motors; ensure you download the correct casing and FingerWorm based on your chosen motor. The Corona DS238HV servo or a Pololu planetary reduction 154:1 DC brushless motor is recommended. The required motor can be found at http://www.pololu.com/catalog/product/1109, while the driver is available at http://www.pololu.com/catalog/product/2130. Different files are needed depending on your chosen motor; instructions are updated regularly, so stay tuned for further developments.
