Robotic Hand by armjunkie

Description

I would like to create this using a 3d printer. Dental rubber bands for braces act as tendons and hold the hand in a rigid state. When strings are pulled corresponding joints will fold, making the fingers open and close. I plan to have servo motors pull and release the strings.

Here is a video of an earlier revision:

A crude prototype of the concept made from tubing, rubberbands, and zip ties:
