The 22 DoF Robotic Hand project is a fully mechanically actuated hand with 22 Degrees of Freedom that focuses on discovering the mechanical restrictions and complexities of actuating biomimetic movement. The project goes through three prototypes and is modeled in Fusion 360 to be completely 3D-Printable, except the electronics and actuator cable. The project goals are to find the requirements necessary to articulate like a hand and then find the actuator restrictions necessary to fit within a forearm. The project focused on prototyping and discovering key design features to be utilized in future improvements and iterations.
