Takto: Open-Source Hand Exoskeleton With Tendon Actuation
Original: Takto Open-source hand exoskeleton that reads twelve finger joints with magnetic encoders and drives them through tendon
A new open-source project called Takto offers a hand exoskeleton that tracks twelve finger joints using magnetic encoders and moves them via tendon drives. The design files, electronics and software are publicly available on GitHub, built around a Teensy board, KiCad schematics and 3D-printed parts. Makers and robotics hobbyists are sharing it as an accessible platform for assistive tech and experimentation.
Why now: Open hardware projects combining assistive robotics and fully published designs tend to draw attention from the maker and robotics communities.
