- Hi Friends,
-
- I am studying the functioning of the human hand by building
- one from sterolithography models of the bones and using cables for tendons
- etc.
-
- I am interested in finding the kinds of forces that may be present
- at the joints, and am looking for really small sensors for the
- forces that may be produced between the joints. I am also interested
- in measuring the angular displacement between the two joints. Could
- someone out there give me some pointers to some low cost sensors for
- the above application. I would also welcome answers from people who have
- implemented such sensors in their applications.
-
- Thanks in advance
