Things to do for force sensors: Wire wrap circuit Increase sensing area Connect sensor to circuit

Control 12 Volt, 4 Amp power supply in and operational. Remaining motors in and soldered to driver cards. Microcontroller/PC code functional for four motors and 5 touch sensors.

Structural - Fingers Current Future More Flexible fingers Wider joints Gained approximately 30° of flexion Future Alter the number and spacing of joints for more flexibility

Finger Actuation The fingers currently close most of the way, but not entirely. The current proof of concept spools are too big; smaller spools would provide more force. A smaller spool would require a less stiff cable, like a thinner steel cable or a high test fishing line. A smaller cable would help finger actuation also because it would have less friction in the cable housing.
