Hand prosthesis can be divided into three categories: strictly cosmetic prosthesis, hooks and other mechanical appendixes which offer a limited array of movements and electronic devices which replicate the natural hand movements very well. The third category is rather expensive and it can cost tens of thousands of dollars. The cost downside of the electronic prosthesis could soon disappear. Mark Stark has created a prosthesis which incorporates the best features from all the above mentioned prosthesis types.
This plastic prosthesis is almost as light and as cheap as prosthesis with primitive features but it looks and moves like high-tech prosthesis. Stark’s invention does not incorporate any electronic component, but the fingers the man has built have three articulations (two for the thumb), which can set a strong grip on any object, including on irregular shaped objects that a hook prosthesis cannot grip.
The wires contract every finger till the hand sets grip on an object. Stonehenge Robotic Digital Clock - Hacked Gadgets - DIY Tech Blog. Steve Norris from Norris Labs has created one of the most interesting clocks I have seen in a long time. This clock would make watching the time go by very enjoyable. "Stonehenge uses a CrustCrawler Smart Arm and a Parallax Propeller chip to display the current time. All the digits needed to display the time are located on cards positioned in a semi-circle around the left and right sides of the arm.
The time itself is displayed in front of the arm. This gives the clock a "Stonehenge" like appearance. Thanks for the tip Bob. Robot Motors - PMDC motors for BattleBots and Combat Robots. Robot Mechanics, Linkages, Mechanical Devices, and Gadgets. Constructing Robot Bases This is the third book in the "Robot DNA" Series which also includes Programming Robot Controllers and Building Robot Drive Trains. This new addition to the series includes all the information you'll need to build a working robot base. Author Gordon McComb focuses on the basic concepts and specific applications you need to build efficient robot bases -- and have a great time in the process. In the clear, easy-to-follow style that has made him a favorite among robotics fans, Gordon tells you how to get things up and running using inexpensive, easily-obtained parts and simple equipment.
Detailed enough to get the job done, but written with the amateur hobbyist in mind, Constructing Robot Bases is your first point of reference when designing and building this essential subsystem. The "Robot DNA" series has become an absolutely essential addition to every amateur roboticist's bookshelf. Basic Machines and How They Work Five Hundred and Seven Mechanical Movements. Robots.
