Summary/Overview:

Open

Inspiration and first draft mechanism

The objective is to design a hand mechanism based on the “Thing” or walking hand from the show The Addams Family. Our hand design will simulate walking movement with three moving fingers propelling it forward while the thumb and the pinky will remain static to provide stabilization. The mechanism of the finger will be a six bar mechanism integrated with gear constrains to archive 1 DOF
