Coming out of the Winter Design Review, we’re enthusiastic as a group. After being able to present a working prototype finger to many different people, we were surprised by the Dean with one of the Dean’s Choice Awards for the MAE department. Below is a video of our finger prototype attracting people to our table:

Moving forward, we have three major milestones to hit to be close to a fully functional robotic hand. We must refine the finger prototype, create functioning lateral joints, and finish the thumb prototype. These tasks may take us past our allotted time of ten weeks for the quarter, but that won’t keep us from continuing work on Krobohand, as we think it is a valuable design that could help many amputees in need.

The Spring quarter will be mainly devoted to furthering our prototypes, testing them, and making adjustments as needed.

Thank you,

Krobohand Group
