After successfully build the Dexhand ( Dextrous Robotic Hand) , now i am build new dexhand called Dexhand v2. This Dexhand v2 have same construction and system with V1 but of course have little different to improve the Dexhand V2 function, moving and also operating. So, always check back to this post to know the Dexhand V2 progress.

Above photo is Dexhand V.2 where the design similar to Dexhand V.1. In order to improve the mimicking / imitate function to become more close to human Hand, i have change the thumb design and the number of DOF.

Dexhand V.1 have 3 DOF thumb, now Dexhand V.2 thumb increase become 5 DOF. At other fingers, Dexhand V.1 have 2 DOF, at Dexhand V.2 become 3 DOF each fingers ( Index, Middle, Ring, Pinky ).

So, overall, Dexhand V.2 become 17 DOF, where at Dexhand V.1 only have 11 DOF.
