Free Cybernetics

This is a project of mine starting 6th April 2020. I've always been fascinated with the concept of interfacing machines with Mankind.

Essentially, I'm trying to learn how to program/engineer, and produce cybernetic parts for the human that meet, and or supercede the function of the human body.

The plan (right now) is to try attain a 3D printer, some electronics like an Arduino Microprocessor, servos/motors to produce a prototype hand that responds to myo-electric input. That's my goal for 2020.

Long term, the goal is to try make a hand that is equal to human function in terms of speed, accuracy, responsiveness to input and similar weight.

I will keep this blog updated weekly (or monthly depending on how long certain things take), and take photos of the project that I'm undertaking/books/texts that I'm reading to trying to achieve this.

In a week or two, I'll hopefully have my first prototype design completed (both paper, and Blender with textures), and will post them on here
