- The first video in a series I'm making on my new, redesigned biomimetic bionic hand. In this video I introduce a new interphalangeal joint - a simple hinge although there are some very specific requirements. The design will be 3D printed and designed in Fusion 360.

The removal of torsion spring is probably one of the best upgrades because of the loss of actuator power with the previous design
This guy: *design a mechatronic hand and prints it all by himself*
Me: *tries to anchor a line on a plane in SolidWorks and fails*
Me: Burns water while making cereal
@@MrGatlin98 me: what is solidworks? what is cereal?! Why am I alive?!?
Me: Please, just fillet the corners. I beg you
Solidworks: *NO*
Failing is good, not failing is for losers.
Me: I'm gonna finally get that tube routing done for the pneumatic system's CAD
Solidworks: I'm gonna end this mans whole career.
Finally something positive in 2020, cant wait to see more!
Me too.. although i think a full size working terminator might cause some problems with my neibours.
Positive!? Have you ever heard of Skynet?!?

This comment didnt age well
wow, i can't wait! you're so incredibly skilled, i'm certain this is going to be amazing.
Really excited for this! I have been having a tough time figuring out the thumb joint in the hand I am building for my project and your videos helped a lot with ideas.
This made me appreciate my hands more. We are a long ways out from making new ones.
I continue to be impressed and amazed at the amount of thought and ingenuity you put into your designs.
Your work is amazing, you document it well, and are planning on open sourcing it. A rare treat i am HAPPY to see. Keep up the good work!
Dude! Thank you for coming back to this project! I'm really exited to see how it's gonna turn out! If the dollar wasn't so expensive at the moment I would definitely support you on patron!
What you’re doing here is amazing. The fact that you want to make it open source is amazing.
Glad to see you're back ! This project is by far the most advanced 3D printed Bionic Arm in CZcams and very well explained ! Keep going Will, that's a great work
Glad to see you back on this, it is impressive work!
Very exciting, looking forward to this!
this is amazing, and to see your process so well documented. Thank You!
Very well articulated and demonstrated - look forward to seeing more from you!
I'm in robotics myself and honestly this is a very impressive project, I keep looking out for more! Can't wait to see more
Just joined up on your patreon! Love the 3d printing, open sourced hardware, etc. Anything biomechanical is of great interest to me. Dont force yourself to make videos too often, as you might get sick of it eventually and go awhile before you feel up to make another.
Truly fascinating, Will! Keep it coming :D
simply amazing that you are taking the time to redesign
My inner child just sobbed tears of pure joy! I dreamed of that as a kid, making one out of Popsicle sticks and rubber bands... Beautiful sir!!
OMG I was thinking of this idea for my university project as well same with the biomimicry and pulleys. glad to see someone made and making it happen
WHOA! That level of detail is insane! :D
Amazing work, cant wait to see how it performs 👍
Your design is awesome and so are you for sharing it!
Looks great dude! Can't wait to see what you can do with it!
Great project and I like that you're using off the shelf materials and electronics.
Glad to see you are continuing to improve
Wow actual product design process on youtube? Amazing I'll definitely want to see more of this
This world needs more people who care like you do.
WOW, I designed a hand a few years ago, and I am surprised how many similar ideas we had. Your 3d design skills are way better than mine though :D
This is amazing and good luck to you! Everyone should hit up your Patreon! My brother lost his hand and I love 3d printing, so seeing this is awesome!
This is very cool! And kudos for planning on making this open source!
Looking forward to see the progress!! This is great!!
Wow this is the real deal. I had to subscribe to see more of your work. Definitely considering patreon , seems like you would follow through with this and still maintain high quality precision work ethic. Very nice video glad it showed up on my feed randomly 😁
i miss my bionicles watching your videos ... amazing job as always
I was just recommended this video by youtube and I'm glad it was. It was a good watch and I'm sure the videos to follow will be as well. I wouldn't be surprised if this ends up being one of your most popular videos if the algorithm gets a hold of it.
The design is absolutely amazing. The pulley joint is an amazing way to control the joint, and one of the most impressive things I saw was seeing something I did for my university project aswell (in a robot arm though not a hand). Where you removed the potentiometer from the servo and and turned it into a 360 degree servo and used potentiometer for external position feedback. One thing I would recommend for long duration use is to use non back drive motors rather than servos for controlling the movement as servos would use up alot of power if you want to hold a position where as the non back drive motor can hold it mechanically.
Will be interesting to see what you come up with, I’ve found that it’s always a good idea, especially with resin printing, to run a drill bit through your holes to insure they are the right size. I printed some fingers in resin last year and because I didn’t drill those holes before curing, I had to go back and drill them after. Was quite the surprise when I went to put in the linkages between finger segments.
I loved the video and am excited to see how the project goes. I am working on my own biomimetic hand/arm and your hand was one of my original reference materials. I made a finger with springs but eventually decided to copy the body more closely and am now working with air muscles in pairs.
man the design of your bionic hand is so good and clean i need to learn more 😍😤
Brilliant work as someone interested in Mechatronics this was a nice little gem of a video to find
Man I just read your title. I love biomimicry. It was my design approach for my thesis, tho I applied it to architecture. Keep up the good work man. I just finished watching Violet Evergarden and here prosthetic arms were amazing, so I was wondering if prosthetic arms really offered that amount of dexterity. Keep up the good work man, you will help a lot of people with this
Looking forward for your next update and the final finish product. Keep it up!
Your work is inspiring! Well done
Wow. Impressive work. Subscribed and looking forward to seeing your progress on this project.
What CAD system are you using? I switched from SolidWork to OnShape in 2017.
For the pulleys you can use chain links. They are made with a large amount of variety and add a great deal of durability. They can also be taken apart to be stacked, and can apply greater force, enough to use a hydraulic pump if you wanted.
I really respect you bro, you literally creating something big here!
This is the main reason I buy 3d printer, to create something like this bc it so cool and will be very useful.
Keep up the good work. We need everyone we can get.
Hi! I'm a bionics Engineering MSc student and I think your project is super cool! Thanks for sharing :)
Amazing job my friend well done
I swear this guy can design a whole human being by the end of this year.
na yah, should only take 9 month or so from the sretch
okay i know thats a joke but very seriously this is nowhere even in the ball park about the complexity of the body.
fantastic that you have rebooted this project. the pulley system is very interesting, if you use block and tackle mechanisms, you should be able to get some great torque out of it
Your work is amazing. Thank you for sharing
Yes, excited to follow this project!
Super cool that this is a technology that is being developed today and that will be useful for many people in the near future!
Hi - fellow engineer here (about to go into my 4th year integrated Master's Degree in Engineering Science at Oxford).
I've been following this for a while and I'm really glad to see you pick it up again! I'll probably donate to the Patreon if that's what it's for.
What I think you're trying to do here is pretty much what I tried to do for my A Level Product Design Project (except that I made mine using 40+ year old metal machining tools so that the final hand could be made out of mild steel for strength and durability - also, my school didn't have 3D printers when I started manufacture...). It's also one of the proposals I made for my 3rd year group design prosthetics project (though sadly not the one my group decided to pursue). I never really considered the project finished and so never really put it to bed, and I always intended to return to it after I finished my degree.
Tl;dr:- I'd love to be involved in this!
I've been thinking about this for - probably over a decade - and I really approve of the direction that you seem to be aiming your design improvements towards. The torsional springs vs pulleys problem is definitely something that I noticed when I watched your earlier videos some time ago. I also love and am very much on board with your interpretation of "bio-mimetic" here, with the focus on function over execution - I doubt that it would be particularly useful to mimic the 'overlapping' phalangeal tendons that we have in our biological hands, since that would be a nightmare to control!
Let me know if you're interested - I have lots of thoughts and potential improvements that I've developed over literal years (for example that it might be more useful to have the potentiometers on the forearm rather than built into the joints, for about 5 different reasons). I'm a fan of these kinds of things being open source, and since you mentioned your intention for this to be that, I'd love to start a conversation, or at least, provide more detailed feedback.
I look forward to hearing from you. But even if I don't (because maybe I'm too pompous haha) then no hard feelings, I wish you the best of luck with this project!
Excited. Good luck
Exicted for the project, good luck
Oh dude this is so awesome
Thank You very much for Redesign this amazing Projekt. I am very interested and will follow this
This is so cool! I've always thought that a pulley system for a hand would be the best way of doing it!!
You are very skilled. Keep going.
I cant wait to see your animactronics all together
Hace mucho que no subías, me parece un excelente trabajo, muy bueno
Great work i love it !!
That 3D render is friggin sexy. Every prosthetic hand I’ve seen on the internet is slow, and mobility tends to be lacking except for this one. Super excited to see how this turns out!!
Having some slop in the joins, like your segmented piece, can be useful to allow the hand to grasp something tightly, without necessarily damaging itself-- assuming the things that hold the joints together dont break.
your videos really have inspired me, ive started a small 3D printing business to get money together to fund my robotic development, im 15 and trying to get a head start on this, when this is finished im gonna have a go at making one
Im waiting for your update until today. You are the only one whose thingking about real human hand movements. Nice.
Just subscribed on patreon! I just found your channel and am excited to see your content grow!
how did I not discover this channel before! instant subscription
You're amazing, and you're inspiring me to make video!
This is really cool!
Wooooow it is very cool. Congratulations for desing and all the achievements. Keep going, i wanna see this grab things =D
Looking forward to seeing how this turns out :)
looking at those desing parameters, it sounds stupendously hard to pull off. That's some crazy restrictions you put on the project!
Looking forward to your work, you always find a way to amaze me :p
Awesome project!
Very well done Will, love your work. As a retired Physicist (and Biologist) with good skills in electronics I've also thought to design and build something like this with my 3d printer. I shall follow your work with great interest.
yooo thats pretty sick looking
Really like the pulley joint mechanism, torsion springs are awful to work with.
This will be awesome to follow :D
Thanks man! Really interesting!
Love it man!
Great design! Keep it going...
This work is amazing and inspiring. Subbed. Will support when I can afford it.
Thanks for making this!
Damn...you have the future of humanity in yoh hands....🔥🔥🔥💯
It looks so awesome!! If i ever loose an hand (hopefully not ^^), i definitely want an artificial hand from you! 👍🏻
It's amazing bro
I smell a highly under rated channel! Sub'd
Looks so fucking cool, cant wait for next videos
Thank you for deciding to make it open source!
This is pretty similar to a project I'm working on. I find it fascinating that he also had to address balancing biomimetic geometry versus practicality.
I've been waiting for this, clicked "like" before watching LOL
dafuck u describled exacly what i did LOL
I just subscribed. Awesome Mecha hand.
Those vowel qualities are very interesting
super excited!!
It's very cool!
Hi, I'm very interested in seeing what you come up with. Liked your original design, because it looked more organic than most hands out there. Glad to see you learned your lesson on guiding the wires like it's done in bicycles, if you had done that right in the original design i guess you would have had more sucess at the hand wrist.
Since you asked for suggestions I would recommend considering you to bring the potentiometer back to the servo. Also integrating the wiring inside of the "bones", but i know that's really tricky. Third thing would be using N20 geardmotors with encoders, could save some space instead of servos. Good luck.
all my graduation work is based on your videos, thanks for the inspiration and all the help
