The Roboversity Animatronics Challenge

54 out of the 206 bones of an adult human are present in the hand itself! It is an engineering challenge for a robot to exhibit dexterity like the human hand. A possible solution can be found in Animatronics, which is derived from two words – Animation and Mechatronics. To enlighten engineering enthusiasts about this technology, Roboversity (division of Skyfi Labs) in association with Techkriti’15 (annual technical symposium of IIT Kanpur) has launched the Roboversity Animatronics Challenge – the first Animatronics training and competition series in India.
