2 reports · 1 sources
Reddit user /u/sebasmtl has open-sourced the TAKTO ONE tendon-driven hand exoskeleton designed during their master's thesis, with CAD, PCB, firmware and build guides all made public; a total of 29 parts can be downloaded for free, and the project is at https://takto.one and https://github.com/molanocortes/takto-one. The device has one magnetic encoder for each of its 12 finger joints, and together with two IMUs it drives a digital twin in a headset without relying on camera tracking, so fingers that are occluded can still be measured; the author says it can directly read the 12 finger joints, use them to collect hand data to train robot hands or drive a robotic hand, and provides a browser demo that requires no hardware. The author says the motors account for about 85% of the parts cost, and therefore launched a TAKTO Lite version with the motors removed, at about €164 plus circuit board costs; the author also says the thumb module is still a missing part and is openly soliciting designs.

- TAKTO ONE open-source hand exoskeleton released, with browser-based digital twin demo
The author built the TAKTO ONE tendon-driven hand exoskeleton for a master's thesis, with one magnetic encoder for each of 12 finger joints and two IMUs driving a digital twin in a headset, without relying on camera tracking, so occluded fingers can still be measured. The CAD, PCB, firmware, and build guide are all open source, and a browser demo that requires no hardware is available at https://takto.one and https://github.com/molanocortes/takto-one.
