Project Timeline

Nov 2026 - Feb-2026

OVERVIEW

Developed a biomechanical robotic hand capable of mimicking real-time human hand movements using computer vision and servo motor actuation. I independently designed and implemented the full control system, including hand tracking, signal processing, and microcontroller communication. The mechanical hand structure was based on an existing open-source design, which I used as inspiration for the tendon-driven mechanism. This project integrates software, electronics, and mechanical systems to explore real-time human motion replication and human-machine interaction.

HighlightS

  1. Built a real-time hand tracking system using OpenCV

  4. Implemented serial communication between Python and microcontroller
  5. Calibrated and tuned servo angles for accurate finger motion
  6. Reduced latency for smoother real-time response
  7. Integrated a tendon-driven mechanical system based on an open-source design
