Summary of Our Project
As modern industry pushes towards total assembly line automation, it is common to see human tasks designated to faster, more efficient robots. However, these robots are often restricted in their ability to utilize the original tools for the task because the tools were designed for human hands. Since modern end effectors lack the dexterity to operate human tools, companies often have to go through the costly process of designing specialized end effectors.

The purpose of the Hyper-dexterous Animatronic Vision Operated Contraption (HAVOC) project is to construct a versatile, compact, economical, lightweight, and easily controlled robotic end effector capable of overcoming the dexterity limitations of specialized robotic end effectors.
