PUT-Hand is an open-source project of a 5-finger anhomomorphic gripper. PUT-Hand is designed to manipulate wide range of object including elastic objects. PUT-Hand was designed using as many off-the-shelf parts and FDM 3D printing technology, with single elements requiring aluminium CNC machining or stainless steel turning. The PUT-Hand repositories include all parts necessary to recreate the proposed design: mechanical files, PCB design and firmware.
PUT-Hand-PCB repository contains schematics and gerber files if PUT-Hand printed circuit boards. The repository contains design files of HUB (a main integration unit), ENCODERS (fixing PCBs used in fully actuated finger design to hold resistive position sensor) and 3 variants of DRIVER units (execution and measurement servomechanism circuits).
