Robot hand with quick lace ligaments

thingiverse

Designers of robots crafted a five-fingered robotic hand with specially designed ligaments that reduced redundancy in its joint structure, effectively merging three distinct actions into a single movement. This breakthrough was achieved by implementing an inverting torsional coupling between each consecutive finger section, weaving a nylon thread throughout the hand's segments. The uppermost part of the finger tip and the lowest point of the knuckle were directly linked and vice versa, followed again by connecting the middle segment to the palm of the hand.
