Inventor Lawrence J. Singleton,
Jr., is a retired information technology professional
who has developed and patented this ingenious robotic arm and hand
which
simulates the characteristics of the human hand for use in various
electronic
applications.
With today’s demand for electronic
devices, remote control and animation, the
SingletonHand™ is poised to enjoy a vast potential market.
The applications to
which this device can be applied are virtually unlimited and include
fixed and mobile
robotics for manufacturing applications; security and military scenarios,
such as bomb
detection and diffusion; and simple household tasks that repeat
most motions typically
performed by the human hand.
ROBOTIC ARM AND HAND
The SingletonHand™ features detailed, jointed
fingers and thumb. This unique, efficient design provides fine motor
control capabilities which mimic precise human hand and finger movements.
A prototype has been developed that utilizes a compact design with
a single stepper motor and rod through clutch/brake assembly. Through
the use of a specially designed sensor glove, the SingletonHand™
is able to closely repeat and play back most hand motions that are
performed by the human hand.
News: The SingletonHand™
is now available for sale. Inquiries regarding availability, pricing
and purchasing the SingletonHand™ can be made by contacting
the inventor, Larry Singleton.
