I'd really like to build a whole robot arm with force control/feedback. I thought I'd start with a gripper - using elastic tendons between the servos and the fingers so I can measure the force that's being applied. I'm using Arduino and flex/bend sensors to measure the difference in position between the servo and the finger. You can get the CAD and Code from: ① HARDWARE/SOFTWARE What more important hardware is there in life than the clothes on your back and the cup in your hand. You can get your own Robot X tee or openDog mug at the link below: Teespring: Below you can also find a lot of the typical tools, equipment and supplies used in my projects. Some of these links are affiliate links, meaning, at no additional cost to you, I might earn a little extra if you click and make a purchase.

But while I’m still waiting by the phone for that call, maybe you might patronise me with your Patreon-age or pick up some of my merchandise. Or, if you’re all out of digital cash just comment on one of my hilarious Instagram pics, pop me a Tweet or generally yell in my direction. Patreon: Teespring: Instagram: Facebook: Twitter: Huge thanks to my patrons, without whom my standard of living would drastically decline. Like, inside out-Farm Foods bag decline. Plus a very special shoutout to Aleph Objects, Inc who keep me in LulzBot 3D printers and support me via Patreon. Why not join my community, who are mostly made up of actual geniuses. There’s a Facebook group and everything: ③ XROBOTS Former toy designer, current YouTube maker and general robotics, electrical and mechanical engineer, I’m a fan of doing it yourself and innovation by trial and error. My channel is where I share some of my useful and not-so-useful inventions, designs and maker advice. Iron Man is my go-to cosplay, and 3D printing can solve most issues - broken bolts, missing parts, world hunger, you name it. XRobots is the community around my content where you can get in touch, share tips and advice, and more build FAQs, schematics and designs are also available. ④ MUSIC AND SFX The majority of the music and SFX used in my videos is from Epidemic Sound
