D. OPERATION

Hold the Robotic Hand with its flat face (i.e. the back of the hand) facing up. Grasp the

frame with your right hand, with its palm facing down. Put your first three fingers into the

pull rings, holding the frame with your thumb and little finger. Pull on the rings to make the

Robotic Handʼs fingers and thumb bend.

Can you grip your other hand? Can you pick up an object? Put a glove onto the Robotic

Hand, and find a shirt or other top with a sleeve long enough to hide your real hand when

you are holding the Robotic Handʼs frame. Shake hands with your friends with your unique

Robotic Hand. They will be amazed!

E. HOW IT WORKS

When you pull on one of the rings, the strings shorten the inside of the fingers attached to

the ring. The outside of the finger remains the same length, so the shortening makes the

fingers bend inwards.

F. FUN FACTS

• Industrial robots work in factories, moving and joining parts of things being made. They

have grippers for picking up objects, with two or three fingers that can open and close.

• In robot hands, the fingers are moved by tiny motors, hydraulic rams or air-powered

artificial ʻmusclesʼ.

• Robot researchers have built robot hands that look like human hands and have fingers

that move like human fingers. They are very complicated machines, using many joints and

a dozen or more motors.

• Human-like robot hands could be used in humanoid robots.

• Robot hands have pressure sensors in the finger tips. When the fingers are gripping an

object, the sensors prevent the fingers from squashing the object.

• In human hands, thin tendons running inside the fingers make the fingers bend. The

tendons are pulled by muscles in the forearm.

• Prosthetic hands are for people who have lost a hand or arm in an accident. They are like

robot hands, but they are controlled by electrical signals from the remaining muscles in the

arm.
