Needless to say, that’s easier said than done. The first time around, we were surprised: the headset featured dual 1600×1440 LCDs, 120 Hz refresh rate, 100 degree FOV, and the entire thing would cost under $100 (in volume), with everything, from firmware to mechanical design released under Open licenses. It’s been more than a year since we first heard about Leap Motion’s new, Open Source augmented reality headset. Continue reading “Leap Motion Controls Hands With No Glove” → Posted in Arduino Hacks, Kinect hacks, Robots Hacks Tagged animatronic, animatronic hand, hand, Leap motion, leap motion controller, robot hand, servo We’ve seen more traditional robot arms moving with a Leap before, too. This reminded us of another robot hand project, this one 3D printed. You can see how the record and playback work on the video. The Unity app will drive the hand live or can playback one of the five recorded routines. You could probably 3D print something, too. The cardboard construction isn’t going to be pretty, but a glove cover works well. Never know when that’s going to come in handy - no pun intended. We picked up a few tips about building flexible fingers using heated vinyl tubing. The Leap provides more data than the hand has servos, so there was a bit of algorithm development. Since he worked it out, though, you might find the code useful.Īn 8266 runs everything, although you could probably get by with less. The project seems straightforward enough, but apparently, the Leap documentation isn’t the best. You can see the project in the video, below. Using a Leap Motion controller, he can r ecord hand motions with no glove and then play them back to the robot hand at will. It isn’t uncommon to see a robot hand-controlled with a glove to mimic a user’s motion.
