Morning testing. Range of motion test on all the joints. Moves a bit notchy because I’m stepping in degrees, but looks good overall!

Cool..

Nice

Vibes.

Definitely hard to not draw that reference. I think of that scene frequently.

this reminds of the old article

Really nice work! The tendons look very well routed in this new design. How strong is the holding torque with the new servos?

Thanks Ian! To be honest, I’m not 100% sure on the torque yet. I have the limits on the servos set at 40% at the moment to avoid catastrophes during testing. That provides a very firm grip on stuff I’ve tried to grab with the hand. No idea what happens if I bump that higher yet.

Nice work. How much weight does it carry?

Not certain yet. It needs to get a little farther in terms of control to be able to grasp onto things well. Would estimate 1kg or so, but that’s a pure guess right now. May well be capable of more.
