Projects
Active robotics programs in the TinkerDome build archive.
Each project page collects the technical direction, target architecture, development phases, and next validation work for a specific robot platform.
Project 01
Robot Hand
A biomimetic robotic hand platform focused on human-like dexterity, tendon-driven actuation, and reactive real-time control. Using custom mechanical systems, ESP32-based embedded electronics, and computer vision hand tracking, the system is being developed to read, interpret, and live-mimic human hand movements with realistic robotic motion and manipulation.
