Aiko's Latest Hand


Hi

This is version 2 of Aiko's new hand.




Here are the new specifications for the new hand.

1) Weight only 95g which is 1/3 of the weight of the old hand.
2) 2.5x more power and more torque.
3) 35% smaller than the old hand.
4) The fingers are small enough that it can type on a keyboard.
5) The palm of the hand is cable of bending.

The glove you see is woman wedding gloves small size (s).
I was shopping in Japan a few months ago, it was nice so I bought it.
I design the new hand from that gloves.

Aiko's Prototype Hand





Hi

Here is Aiko's new prototype Hand.

I have tested the new hand at Star Bucks picking up the coffee.
I didn't get the "chance" to video it, but I will the next time I am there.



Pro:
1) 5 movable fingers
2) Compact size. Same as human's hand
3) Will have complete sensors for feedback
4) Low Power consumption 5V
5) Can be use for Aiko.
6) 15 movable joints
7) Material Cost $1800







Can be use for Aiko or for human. Life-like mechanical limb that has the ability to feel physical sensation.
(Control by human muscle) special senors and controller will attach to the human's muscle. In other words, controlling the hand with our muscles.

Human Brain >> Nerve Impluse >> Muscle >> Aiko's Hand

This technology can be beneficial for people born with or who have undergone amputations.

Since, I can't find any volunteers, I guess I will test it on myself.

Inside of Aiko










Hi


I founded this old picture of Aiko. Aiko had undergone a major repair.
Some sensors were replaced and new micro controller was installed.
This picture was taken in December of 2007.

p.s. I am currently re-designing Aiko's hand. Aiko will be able to move all five fingers in the future.
