Project Overview
The primary objective of this project is to design and develop an anatomically accurate, robotic hand that incorporates air muscles as a force generating mechanism. The robotic hand should utilize control algorithms that accurately reproduce human hand and finger motions. Additionally, the robotic hand should be capable of detecting and responding to tactile perceptions, including pressure force detection, position sensing, and motions. The robotic hand wants to be scalable as a future goal. The design team will first be optimizing a current hand design and then shifting their efforts to the design and creation of a new hand design.
The primary deliverables from the senior design phase will be:
1. Optimized air muscle design and configurations
2. Control strategy/algorithms
3. Functional, controllable hand model using existing robotic hand
4. Control and Optimization of the Current Hand Model
5. New hand design - drawings, design requirements
6. Single controlled finger from new hand design (time permitting)
Note: The deliverables from this senior design project will provide the platform to be used in a MS thesis project.

Team Documents
This outline for the posting of team created documents follows the general product development process presented in the textbook "Product Design and Development" by Ulrich and Eppinger.
Portions of the team documents have been prepared by a DPM student prior to the launch of this project. This information is intended to help get the team started with a first draft needs assessment and work breakdown structure. The team members can adapt this information as the project progresses.
Note: The majority of these documents are located else wear throughout this website, they have been summarized here for simplicity.
