DIY Industrial Robotic Hands

Just interviewed Mark Rosheim about the Rosheim Joint.

A linkage heavy wrist / spherical joint (~±90° range of motion), developed in 1989.

We went deeper into his design. Simple, complex, and elegant mechanics.

Still one of the most interesting mechanisms I’ve come across.

Today I realized something absolutely with @BitRobotNetwork

You dont need to own a robot… to actually control one

I was just sitting at my laptop and somehow I was moving a real robotic arm in real time

At first I thought it would feel like a video game It didnt

Theres a

TeleArms beta launched and the waitlist filled faster than capacity. That's not marketing, that's a signal worth thinking about. Remote teleoperation of robotic arms, LeKiwi and XLeRobot hardware, real manipulation tasks. People competing for the chance to train robots.

BCI company BrainCo just released a new dexterous hand: Revo3.

But this time, it’s not for humans, it’s built for humanoid robots.

＞21 DOF ＞Full-palm + fingertip tactile sensing ＞Direct drive + backdrivable design ＞33 grasp types ＞20N fingertip pinch force ＞Open-source

New robotic skins and tactile fabrics are giving machines a more humanlike sense of contact, pressure, and interaction. This is the under appreciated advancement I have been researching for decades and can say we are nearly at the point of higher useful resolution.
