STM32 robotic hand packs tendon-driven fingers, FSR and Hall sensors into five digits
_Stocko_ · x · 2026-09-18
- A five-finger robotic hand built on STM32 uses tendon-driven joints with FSR pressure sensors at fingertips and Hall sensors for joint-angle feedback.
- Separate boards under the palm handle STM32 control, motor drivers, sensor acquisition, and 24 V power management.
- The packaging keeps most electronics and drive hardware below the palm, leaving fingers dedicated to joints, tendons, and contact sensing.
