Mimic hand

This project is the ancestor of the automaton used for the TRR 2016.

It is a 3D printed hand with only 4 fingers. I have made the design of the fingers joints such that the actuation can be made with 2 motors per finger. A piece of fishing line goes through the joint to mimic the anatomic pulleys of the fingers. The fingers were actuated through servos controlled by an arduino board. Controlling a hand is fine but controlling a hand with your own finger movements is much more fun. I used restive deformable sensors on a glove as input of the arduino to reproduce the bendings of my fingers.
