The Robot Hand is a Swinburne Tinkerers Guild project lead by Lachlan Mackie, that uses the bodies own nerve signals to move a 3D printed robotic hand.

Currently it senses whether the users hand is open or closed using electrodes placed on the skin of the user to pick up the bodies electrical signals.

This project is intended to be used in applications such as prosthetics and search and rescue. Giving the user more control over their prosthetic than via conventional means.

This Project was funded by The Swinburne Tinkerers Guild and is looking for new and old participants who are interested in learning or developing it.

Currently we are looking for people to add some Digital signal Processing, Machine Learning, Mechanical Design and CAD work to it.
