Una fiesta 3D solidaria para imprimir prótesis de manos low cost. Robohand es una iniciativa para crear manos robóticas con impresoras 3D que surgió en Sudáfrica en 2011, cuando Richard van As perdió los dedos de su mano derecha en un accidente. Las prótesis existentes no le servían así que decidió construirla él mismo, utilizando las tecnologías de impresión 3D y la ayuda del ingeniero mecánico Ivan Owen. A raíz de esa colaboración, en 2012 surgió Robohand, un proyecto que permite imprimir manos robóticas de bajo coste ofreciendo los diseños, archivos y manuales de construcción de las prótesis de forma gratuita y en código abierto. A finales de 2013, Robohand ya había desarrollado 200 manos para personas de todo el mundo que no podían permitirse comprar una prótesis tradicional, y a día de hoy han creado también Robofinger, Roboarm y están en proceso de desarrollo de una pierna robótica, Roboleg. 3D Party Solidarioa comenzará por la mañana con la impresión de las piezas, que luego se ensamblarán para construir las manos robóticas.

Museum for all: a tactile exhibition and project from Minsk. Gleb Kanunnikau is a designer and trainer based in Minsk. He is part of a group of volunteers running a meetup group and an open laboratory bringing together people from the tech and education/media and experimental, hackerspace scene trying to solve a few very local and very practical problems that don’t seem to be getting a lot of attention from the tech community. Their initiative is focused on providing educational tools for children and adults with vision disabilities and is organized as an open laboratory with contribution from Minsk hackerspace (the first in Belarus), Belarusian meetup.by community, and monogroup.by - community of architects and visual artists.

Gleb wrote me a long email and explained the aims and the context of their amazing work: The models serve as instructional materials and partly substitute for the missing handbooks on history and culture that the children in schools for the visually impaired are not receiving currently. Use the MaKey MaKey to make DIY assistive technology for computer access #makeymakey #makeymakeymonday. April 21, 2014 AT 8:00 am Jason Webb shared his recent tutorial detailing how to “use the MaKey MaKey to make DIY assistive technology for computer access“. He also did a live Google Hangout on Air sharing more details about how one can approach the MaKey-MaKey as a tool for developing assistive technology here. In this Instructable we will be looking at how to use an innovative device called the MaKey MaKey to create customized, low-cost, DIY computer access interfaces for users with disabilities.What is a computer access interface?

A computer access interface is anything you use to interact with your computer. Read More. Every Monday is Makey Makey™ Monday here at Adafruit!

L’organisation mondiale des personnes handicapées définit le handicap comme « la perte ou la limitation des possibilités de participer à la vie normale de la collectivité sur une base égalitaire avec les autres en raison d’obstacles physiques et sociaux. » Une adaptation de l’environnement, qu’il soit personnel et/ou professionnel, est très souvent nécessaire afin de diminuer la limitation des possibilités d’interactions.

Pour certains, c’est le corps lui-même qui doit être compensé, assisté, stabilisé à l’aide d’orthèses. Ces matériels ont un coût, souvent élevé, et ne sont pas toujours adaptés aux besoins spécifiques des personnes. C’est pourquoi est né le projet Handi-Lab. Nous souhaitons initier un programme d’expérimentation et de recherche autour de la question du handicap (conférences, débats, sensibilisation, actions…).

Files feature numerous changes including: -Revised Thumb mounting point, for better printability and reduced clean-up.

-Revised Fingertips so elastic and control string can be attached more simply. You can download the assembly and parts manual here on Thingiverse "Thing number 64720": Both right and left hand files are now available. An updated version of the complete hand file (2.5) and thumb mount (2.5) are now available as of 2/4/13. -improved function developed after further experimentation with the hand. -an improvement to the cable guide for the thumb mount, as well as the addition of a bungee anchor on the thumb mount. -The addition of extra mounting holes on the thumb mount -The inclusion of the cable guide/anchor blocks used on the "Gauntlet" The device in its current state can be assembled by using 3mm nuts and bolts in the holes provided.
