Trying to make a finger spanning baby prosthetic hand, 45mm x 50mm, using OnShape.
The design relies on the nature of how, air pressure works in a controlled pre-filled air inflatable, against a small amount of spring tension at each joint, enough for a baby or small child.
Imagine:
🖐️ A soft, lightweight, realistic hand — sized for a toddler or child — that’s as friendly to wear as a glove.
⌚ An Arduino control unit worn like a stylish smartwatch, with a touchscreen interface a child can learn to love.
🧠 Tactile sensors embedded in each fingertip, providing real-time feedback on pressure, grip, and even texture — so the child doesn’t just move the hand…
they feel with it.⚡ And soon — with EEG brainwave integration — the possibility of controlling the hand just by thinking, making the system not only intuitive, but revolutionary.
