Meet the ORCA Hand: a 17 DOF tendon driven robotic hand with tactile sensors that can be assembled in about 8 hours and costs under $2500. It has various smart features, such as popping joints and tensioning system. This robotic hand is ready for imitation, teleoperation, and reinforcement learning. As the researchers explain, the design files and material lists for the robot are openly available.
Its popping joints mean the robot doesn’t break easily under load. This hand has a 3D printable design.
