Made this project while volunteering at a team in my college. Our main goal was teaching students about different fields of engineering and making projects with the lowest cost possible
This project was part of our plan to recyle old materials to use in projects applying concepts explained in team.
This robot hand was made from recycled cans, wood, and strings for the mechanical part, we used arduino as our MCU and a laptop camera for the Computer vision part.
