KIMLAB (Kinetic Intelligent Machine LAB) | 3D printable Robot Hand and Tactile Sensor based on Air-pressure and Capacitive Proximity Sensing @KIMLAB2020 | Uploaded March 2024 | Updated October 2024, 6 minutes ago.
This video presents KIMLAB's new three-fingered robotic hand, featuring soft tactile sensors for enhanced grasping capabilities. Leveraging cost-effective 3D printing materials, it ensures robustness and operational efficiency. By integrating readily available sensors, it adeptly detects interaction forces and proximity to conductive objects. With its 3D printed components and 6 servo motors, production is streamlined and cost-effective, coming in at under 370 USD per hand.
Toyota Research Institute (TRI) provided funds to support this work as a part of the "Superhuman Multimodal Sensing for Manipulation" project.

Since 2020, KIMLAB has dedicated efforts to craft an affordable humanoid robot tailored for educational needs, boasting vital features like a ROS-enabled processor and multi-modal sensory capabilities. By incorporating a commercially available product, we seamlessly integrated an SBC (Orange PI Lite 2), a camera, and an IMU to create a cost-effective humanoid robot, priced at less than $700 in total. The robot has served as the primary instructional resource in the Introduction to Humanoid Robotics course at UIUC, where students showcased remarkable final projects, presenting diverse adaptations of this robot.

Imagine dogs effortlessly managing a wide array of items, their versatile mouths allowing them to grasp and hold easily. Inspired by their natural abilities, we crafted a robotic gripper. Enhancing our passive-jamming lip and incorporating the ingenious structure of a dogs teeth, our gripper now possesses the dexterity and precision to handle objects in daily life.
