Hi everyone, I'm building the original InMoov v1 robotic hand . The mechanical assembly and servo control are working well, but I'm currently stuck with the sensor integration. My goal is to add: Hall Effect sensors for finger position/feedback. FSR (Force Sensitive Resistor) sensors on the fingertips for touch and grip force detection. Ultimately, I want to implement closed-loop gripping, where the hand can detect contact with an object and adjust the grip force instead of simply moving the servos to fixed positions. The problem is that I can't find a proper guide explaining how to do this. I've spent a lot of time searching through YouTube, Google, GitHub, forums, and other online resources, but I still haven't found a complete tutorial that covers the entire process. I'm specifically looking for help with: Where to mount the Hall sensors and magnets. How to mount the FSR sensors on the fingertips. Wiring diagrams. Arduino code/examples. Sensor calibration. How to combine the Hall sensors, FSRs, and servo control into one working system. If anyone has: YouTube videos GitHub repositories Research papers Wiring diagrams Build logs Arduino examples Personal experience integrating these sensors into an InMoov hand (or any tendon-driven robotic hand) I would really appreciate your help. I've been stuck on this for quite some time, so any guidance or resources would mean a lot. Thank you! submitted by /u/Odd-Bell1718 [link] [Kommentare]

​ Hello I'm currently 26 I have 3 years of experience doing general IT help desk work and web development. I want to move on to having a deeper understanding of things and securing them. I have a undergrad in IT. I want to work with security but not only apps and networks yes this interests me but I'm also interested in the system or device itself how that's secured. Alternatively I am also interested in how a computer works, how to solve real problems with it, how a computer processes and sends data physically and then through a network and how to build computers themselves and as well as computers in bigger devices like robotics and how build bigger systems like a robotic arm. So I'm a little confused on if I should do my masters in computer engineering and add on cybersecurity electives or should I do computer science and on hardware or embedded systems electives. I do have the option at my school of double majoring as well but I think that would be to much work especially because if I do CE i have a big foundation to cover. ​ ​ ​ https://catalog.uhcl.edu/preview\\\_program.php?catoid=25&poid=7072 ​ ​ ​ https://catalog.uhcl.edu/preview\\\_program.php?catoid=25&poid=7074 submitted by /u/Colfuzi0 [link] [Kommentare]

So this is my 2nd project and final project in high school, quite ambitious i gotta say. I was trying to make a anthropomorphic robotic hand . So i grabbed the palm and finger design from here. But i wanted to make my own thingys where the strings are attached , and add adduction ( fingers get clamped together). I learned how to use fusion and how to 3d print , i didnt know what was clearance. I learned that quickly . I dont have a 3d printer at home so i needed to pay for everything , i spent all my budget for this project , and i was so close to finishing everything but , my strings lacked tension and some 3d printed parts broke and i really dont want to spend more money. I finally decided to postpone the project until september because i got in an engineering school and i hope they have a 3d printer i can use freely. On top of that i think its better to try out some new stuff throughout the summer like i want to make those plasma ball thingys with the glass surrounding it and you can touch it. I am a little disappointed cause i was so close but let's see. I left you some pics too ​ submitted by /u/MINII_man [link] [Kommentare]

Hey r/robotics, I’ve been playing around with bridging AI and simple, accessible hardware. The goal is to avoid buying expensive robotics gear, starting instead with a basic

I had a first go, putting together some of our friends in the space + a bit of research. It’s inspiring to see this vertical grow while everyone complains Europe is dead in tech. You do not need to live in SF or Shenzen to build with robots. You just need good engineers and a high tolerance for pain. There is lot of heavy metal waiting to wake up in Europe.

I'm building an autonomous rover using ROS2. For mapping, I'm using SLAM Toolbox, and my goal is to navigate the rover autonomously. My rover uses BLDC hub motors (the type of wheel in the picture) that have built-in hall sensors. However, I'm confused about how to generate the /odom topic required by SLAM Toolbox using these hall sensors. From what I understand, SLAM Toolbox needs odometry data, but I'm not sure: How to convert hall sensor readings into wheel odometry. How to calculate wheel position, velocity, and robot pose from the hall sensor data. Whether hall sensors alone are accurate enough for odometry. If there are any ROS2 packages or existing solutions that can help with this. Has anyone implemented odometry using BLDC hub motor hall sensors in ROS2? Any examples, tutorials, or advice would be greatly appreciated. submitted by /u/Organic-Author9297 [link] [Kommentare]

Instead of just watching videos or apps, this system uses a dual-arm gantry with five-finger robotic hands that: - Precisely control each finger’s position and pressure on the keys - Use compliant (flexible) actuators for natural-feeling guidance instead of stiff pushing - Start with strong support and gradually reduce assistance as you build real muscle memory It turns passive learning into active, embodied practice — helping you feel the correct movements directly.

Is this N20 D-shaft wheel good for a line follower robot that needs to climb a 20° ramp and pass over small debris(kinda like RoboCup rescue line jr)? submitted by /u/trashzin__ [link] [Kommentare]

Honestly, I don't know how other people can do IMU balancing so elegantly; my PID oscillates like it's on life support. I have been tuning the PID the whole night, but then again, I don't have a lot of experience other than following some manuals, so any advice would be great! I am using BNO055 for IMU.

Hey everyone, looking for some genuine opinions here. I’m currently a second-year Software Engineering student in Australia and I’ve been seriously considering switching to Mechanical Engineering with a Mechatronics & Robotics major, followed by a Master of Professional Engineering (Mechatronic). That’s a 4 year undergrad plus 2 year masters A few things I’d love honest input on: Is a Mechanical Engineering degree still worth pursuing in 2026 with AI moving so fast, or will a lot of that work get automated too? For those already working in robotics or mechatronics does your degree actually reflect what you do day to day? Was the Masters worth it or could you have gotten into the industry with just the undergrad? Any regrets about the path you took? Appreciate any input from people actually in the industry or going through something similar. submitted by /u/sussypanduh [link] [Kommentare]
