Nice! Have you tried actuating it with servos yet? I've been writing the software for that on an Arduino, just for fun. Just one finger and a thumb for now, though.

No I havent, not for this one at least. I am currently involved in a research project, where we have two stepper motors running of some arduino-like boards. It is for a soft robot with string actuation, but it will be usable for something like this also. this one will not be actuated though. Too much friction in the joints, and I was not really satisfied with the design anyway. I have a version 2 which i will post about later and I am working on version 3 which i hope to hook up to some actuators
I use servos that can easily overcome friction 8-). Anyway, the force feedback algoritms are the most interesting, for me at least, especially when you try to do that without pressure measurements, but only measure current being drawn by the servos. I have a very silly application for it; it will be a remote controlled arm and hand that turn the volume knob on my old amplifier.
