Meet the Robot with a "Handy" Trick Up Its Sleeve!
Home: California, United States
Ever wish you could change your hand depending on the task? This robot can! It's got a special arm that can swap out different "hands" or tools, kind of like switching attachments on a power drill. It's not just about picking the right tool, it's about having the right "hand" for anything you throw at it! Watch it transform from a delicate grasper for small objects to a formidable lifter for bigger items. This robot is always ready for the next challenge!

I am a mechanical engineer with a passion for robotics and 3D printing. My fascination with engineering extends far beyond the traditional scope of my profession. I love the process of designing and building complicated engineered systems.

Lets face it, wire management is the worst part of any robotics or mechatronics project. So I wanted to create a robot that is wireless, that is, each joint is independent with a power supply and controller of its own. With this approach, the central controller has to only send joint commands to the joints. The tasks of PID control and feedback monitoring are off loaded to the individual joint controllers.
