Objective
The objective of this project is to build a simple robotic hand using paper and straws to understand the basics of biomechanics and how tendons work. Students will learn about the principles of levers and pulleys, and how they can be applied to create movement in mechanical structures.
Scientific interpretation
This project helps you understand how tendons in a human hand work. By creating a paper robot hand, you’ll see how pulling on strings (like tendons) can cause parts of the hand to move. This simple model demonstrates the basics of biomechanics, showing how bones, muscles, and tendons interact to create movement. It also illustrates the principles of levers and pulleys, which are fundamental in mechanical engineering.
