The Open Hand Project
Open Hand Project Indiegogo Campaign:
What is it?
The Open Hand Project is an open source project with the goal of making robotic prosthetic hands more accessible to amputees.
The Dextrus hand is the realization of this goal, it's a robotic hand that can be put together for well under £650 ($1000) and offers much of the functionality of a human hand.
Who's it For?
The Dextrus hand is for anyone who wants an advanced robotic hand. This could be an amputee who wants a little more than a metal hook, a researcher who's looking into control systems for telepresence robots or perhaps a hobbyist who is making a humanoid robot.
