Robotic Hand - Programmable

Build a programmable robotic hand that grips, gestures and picks things up - your entry into automation and control. WHO IT'S FOR - College students: a compact, impressive project that teaches real actuation and control. - Working professionals: hands-on grounding in robotics and automation you can extend at work. WHY IT MATTERS: grippers and end-effectors sit at the heart of industrial automation - a skill with direct career value. WHAT YOU'LL BUILD: a servo-driven hand that opens and closes fingers, performs gestures and handles objects. CURRICULUM INDEX Module 1: How robotic hands and grippers work Module 2: Building the frame and finger linkages Module 3: Servos, wiring and the controller Module 4: Programming movement and gestures Module 5: Grip control and object handling Module 6: Sensor feedback - touch and flex sensors (Professional track) Module 7: Gesture-glove or app control (Professional track) Module 8: Capstone - an automated pick-and-place task Student track: Modules 1-5. Professional track: Modules 1-8 with feedback control. WHAT YOU'LL WALK AWAY WITH: a working robotic hand, real control-systems experience, and a certificate. Format: self-paced online + robotic hand kit.
