Aiko's Prototype Hand & Artificial Limb

	Aiko new hand. Left: Male Large Right: Female Small

Can be use for Aiko or for human. Life-like mechanical limb that has the ability to feel physical sensation.
(Control by human muscle) special senors and controller will attach to the human's muscle.
In other words, controlling the hand with our muscles.

Human Brain >> Nerve Impluse >> Muscle >> Aiko's Hand

This technology can be beneficial for people born with or who have undergone amputations.
The hand can pick up small items such as beer's cap, to large items including coffee cup.
The artificial hand is controlled by two microcontrollers, which can be easilily modified to fit in any robotic project.


1) 5 movable fingers
2) Compact size. Same as human's hand
3) Will have complete sensors for feedback
4) Low Power consumption 5V
5) Can be use for Aiko. or human
6) 14 movable joints

	It is my dream to have Aiko be as human-like as possible. I'm not sure if it is possible, but there is no way to find out unless I try.

1. Facial Expressions
2. Make tea and coffee
3. Feed me sushi
4. Make simple breakfast: eggs and bacon
5. If I lie my head down on Aiko lap, have her clean my ears with a Q-tip.
6. Ability to massage my shoulders and neck.
7. Able to do print and write
8. Clean the windows
9. Dust the shelves
10. Clean my toilet. (I hate cleaning the bathroom, might as well have someone else do it for me)
