An anatomically accurate left hand you can code, wear and grow.
Most educational robotic hands stop at three cheap servos and one big claw. UHand UNO gives you five real fingers, a pan-tilt wrist, six anti-stall servos and a wireless glove you actually put on your own hand — on an Arduino UNO your students already know.
Five real fingers. Aluminium + acrylic body. Anatomically left.
Five independently driven fingers plus a 180° pan-tilt wrist — not a claw pretending to be a hand. The chassis is aluminium alloy with clear acrylic exoskeleton parts, so the mechanism is visible while the hand grasps. The left-hand variant mirrors real human proportions for prosthetics and bilateral-manipulation research.
Arduino UNO. Six knobs. No code required to start.
Twist six potentiometers on the 6-channel knob expansion board and the robot hand mirrors your input in real time — no code, no compile, no library. Then, when the student is ready, plug the USB Type-B cable into any laptop and start writing Arduino C/C++. Six anti-blocking servos auto-cut torque on collision so nothing burns out during your first pinch-and-grasp experiment.
Wear the glove. The robot hand mirrors every finger.
A wireless somatosensory glove reads flex sensors and an accelerometer on your own hand and streams that posture to the robot in real time — no tether, no lag. Curl your index finger, the robot curls its index finger. Turn your wrist, the wrist turns. It’s the closest thing to a prosthetic-tuning demo you’ll find in a school kit.
ESP32-S3 vision, ultrasonic, touch — grow with the student.
I2C and IO ports on the expansion board plug straight into an ESP32-S3 camera module (colour recognition, face detection, ball tracking), ultrasonic range sensor, touch sensor, accelerometer or RGB LED. Add a Bluetooth module and the whole hand is app-driven from an iOS or Android phone. The same starter kit scales from Class 8 sensor lessons to full undergraduate AI projects.
