3D-printed robotic hand uses tendon-like strings and under-actuated design for adaptive grasping
Scobleizer · x · 2026-10-07
- Cosmos Network showcased a 3D-printed robotic hand where servos in the forearm pull tendon-like strings to actuate each finger.
- The under-actuated design uses fewer motors than joints, letting the hand adaptively grasp objects.
- It is lightweight, repairable, and built to mimic real human tendons.
