Servos/“Thanos”: Smart Robotic Hand

What if Thanos used engineering instead of Infinity Stones?

This project is my attempt to build a human-inspired robotic hand capable of smooth, dexterous finger movements. As part of my Marvel-themed robotics platform, Thanos combines mechanical design, embedded systems, and 3D printing to bring a lightweight, tendon-driven hand to life.

To get the best of both worlds, I use SLA resin printing for high-precision joints and cosmetic parts, and FDM filament printing for structural components and rapid prototyping. Along the way, I've learned that sometimes 0.1 mm matters more than a superhero—iterating on tolerances, clearances, and print orientation to improve assembly while reducing support material and post-processing.

The next mission? Give Thanos a brain with an ESP32, power it with servos, and teach it to grasp, point, and maybe even snap its fingers... responsibly.

Key Features
1. Custom-designed robotic hand inspired by the human hand
2. Tendon-driven fingers for natural movement
3. Built using both SLA resin and FDM 3D printing
4. Improved part fit and assembly through design iterations
5. Rapid prototyping with multiple design revisions
6. Future ESP32 control with servos and smart grasping
