A more elastic material like silicon for stationary parts and a woven fabric for movable parts will take the hand to the next level

LOL Classic!!!

It would be fantastic if you could get a big sponsor or partner that couñd ena le you to work this into a family of products using more advance technologies like the use of casted titatnium, metal 3d printing and similar as it couñd enable much smaller versions for kids and women which normally have much smaller hands. Great job! 😊

Hello, Mr. Davis. I know this is presumptuous, but could I ask for a blueprint of a robot hand for study? Or the parts needed to make it, which could help me and my friends with missing fingers regain their lives. I would appreciate it, but you don't have to reply if it bothers me. A friend from the other side of the world

Imagine punching someone with rhis

Imagine going to a boxing match

The forearm portion of the device needs to be comfortable yet strong. I might suggest a leather strap, with an integration of a Kevlar over the top for the connection of the metal and to hold it. I think you would find it more comfortable and durable.

"Bro doesn't need brass knuckles to win in a fight" 💀 very cool hand by the way

What did you start out with? Did you ever have a hook or was it straight to robotic devices?

Maybe 3D print molded bracers, can even make the attachment look like regular wrist watches and bracelets, this is very cool

you've learned how you use your hands to talk... even with the prosthetic, wow.

As s technician for the lower limbs, the pure technicality of this is awesome.

Life is plastic , its fantastic 😂

your cat has disneyland character eyes, so beautiful

Amazing

This is the most natural mechanical hand I've seen if that makes sense

bro i will cut my fingers just to use this

Hey I’m very inspired with what you have achieved with your hand fella I’m missing a thumb is this something you could help me with are you still in the uk I could come and see you Ian ?

I’m sorry I didn’t see you at Makers Central, I was trading so didn’t get to look around. Maybe next year. Love your upgrades.

What I would pay to spend a day and learn from you and break down the design. Amazing.

You are amazing and an inspiration. I would love to know in detail how you made this. This is engineering that matters.

Dude, that hand is the coolest f- thing! Almost want to have one over my flesh and blood

i need this for my right hand 😢 i hope can i have this .. 😢😢

Bro looks like Donald pierce now

昔からファンです あなたはそんなもんじゃない もっと私を自由にしてくれ この体のおりから

Can you use middle finger with it?

I have extreme deformities in my hands and feet from rheumatoid arthritis. I’ve lost all but my thumb and only partial use of index finger on right hand. Sometimes I think I would be better off amputating it and would probably benefit from a prosthetic hand. However no medical.

Man I would love one of your masterpieces. I am open to any guinea pig uses. I lost alot of my fingers. Hand looks like this 🤙

You don't need luck, you have skills.

Cool idea. We did a similar thing on the LUKE arm with the force sensors, they are in the center of the fingers, well protected and not part of the consumable silicone cover. We also made the thumb a very stiff spring with a 2 axis hall effect sensor inside, so we could always sense force (spring deflection) and the direction of the applied force. That would then be used with a vibrating pager motor to vary the motor speed (vibration) with increasing force being applied to the thumb.

Luke Skywalker would be proud

You don't need luck, you have skills and expertise. Your works speak for themselves...

Your knowledge and developments being shared with the wider community is exactly what needs to happen.

You're Changing the world with this and I really want to thank you

I love that you literally took matters into your own hands and built this. The creativity needed to work that out is amazing and inspirational. 👍

damn i wish i could of met you in the NEC i went there for a college engineering trip

I'm in Bristol! Would be great to meet you. You're an inspiration!

Dear sir its available in here

There are definitely benefits to having certain parts made of polymer. It doesn't corrode as easily and less expensive to replace.

I agree with the hostels, I used to love staying in them before I settled down. However, the train system in the UK is currently completely absurd! You can fly from Edinburgh to London Heathrow cheaper than the train ticket from the airport into the city!

Would love to know in a vid what you discussed with Open Bionics, hope you enjoy your stay in the UK. Would be awesome to have your Prosthetic's as an option to have in the UK from O.B or the NHS.

hostels are so awesome! you are a good traveler

If you're going to have a cool looking cyborg hand, you need to be able to flip a powerful bird, spring for that middle-finger option. You don't need it often, but when you do, it'll be ready to put anyone in their place with authority. Very impressive work, great job!

Amazing who u can meet in a hostel, like a guy with a robot hand

Philadelphia

Welcome to the UK!

Bro i am try to connect with you in so many ways. I need to buy mechanical hand. From you. I am in san franscico.

damn, We the Curious (formerly known as At Bristol) is still shut for repairs, you would've loved it. it's a really fun science/art edutainment center with lots of super cool exhibits and a planetarium. it reopens in July so check it out on the off chance you're ever in town again

This is fantastic, Im amazed. You should be proud of your accomplishments! I am curious as to the material and weight of the assembly.

How cool my brotha!!! Good luck to ya and looks like your havin a blast!!!!
