We have been diligently working to refine our finger design before printing our another prototype to test. As is shown in the blog post picture, there have been some significant changes from our prior prototypes, specifically in the way we plan to attach the flexor tendon into the finger, and the design of the lateral joint. Before this design, we …

We’re proud to showcase what we’ve been able to achieve thus far using our designs and dual material 3D printing with regard to our finger prototype for the Krobohand. Using a combination of Inova-1800 (Co-polyester filament) and Ninjaflex (Thermoplastic Elastomer filament), we’ve been able to successfully integrate a stabilizing, as well as restoring force tendon within the body of the …

The Krobohand Group consists of four students who all share an interest in human assistive robotics. The team is as follows: 1.) Ethan Kirkley – Team Manager (4th year Mechanical Engineering) 2.) Cameron Hunt – Purchasing Manager (4th year Mechanical Engineering) 3.) Zeppy Khechadoorian – Document Manager (4th year Physics) 4.) Kevin Wong – Team Safety Officer (4th year Mechanical …
