Sensory Feedback - Raptor Reloaded - e-NABLE

myminifactory

Hello everyone, I'm excited to share with you our collaborative project with my partner Moran Davoodi, which was expertly supervised by Yoav Medan within the Bio-medical engineering department at the Technion in partnership with Haifa3D. Our mission was to infuse a 3D printed Raptor Reloaded with the sense of touch using three types of sensors: pressure, location, and temperature (with the temperature sensor primarily serving as a protective measure against excessive heat). User feedback is delivered via a feedback band powered by two servo motors and a vibration motor. This ingenious design relies solely on readily available parts and can be constructed for approximately $60 in addition to the standard cost of the Raptor Reloaded. To bring this project to life, you'll need to have some knowledge and experience with Arduino, electronics, and 3D printing. Alongside the design itself, we've developed an emulator to facilitate testing, which will prove invaluable for developers looking to enhance the Raptor Reloaded. The mechanical model is based on e-NABLE's Raptor Reloaded and the Carmel thumb. For a more detailed explanation, please refer to our attached project overview, as well as the assembly instructions provided. You can also watch a video showcasing the device's features at https://youtu.be/h9PKCQCQg-U. Good luck with your endeavors!
