(Warning: badly written content) Here is a photo log of progress on the skeletonics inspired exoskelaton suit I have been working on. I have not been able to get a reply from the skeletonics team. I do not know if they are friendly regarding others building versions of their suits. I was able to contact the person who designed their new hand! It was pointed out that the old hand (the design I copied) employed parts that skeletonics had patented in Japan. This may mean they are not open to sharing their design information :( It would be nice to share my design ideas with them :] I am open to sharing all information about my build. I will with-hold the finger designs as I beleive skeletonics does not want them to be public. Ask me anything about anything else :) I am learning quite a lot both about their suit design and myself. Many of the photos are of ideas that did not work. Most of this construction is guesswork. My goal is to create a force feedback motion capture suit for my large robot project. (Heh, its only 2 feet larger than the skeletonics suit :D) I will start with this suit and make modified (stripped down) versions to get what I need. As I build this I learn about the challenges faced with the skeletonics designs. I am constructing this from cedar wood, which is light, and I believe sufficiently strong. I was going to re-enforce the wood, but after building one arm, I do not believe it is needed. I would love to know the strength of the original material (aluminum tube 20x20x2mm I think) I believe my build to be 25% of the weight of the skeletonics builds. (better? maybe not, but lighter, maybe.) Currently (Aug 25/2022) I have the stilts 90% complete and one arm built. I am testing the constructed arm before I duplicate the work. The current design is showing rigidity problems. I have decided that the counterweight springs are necessary as the control mechanism cannot handle the full weight of the arm. I'm NOT trying to get a huge follower count, the easiest ways to reach me are IRC (irc.libera.chat) #robotics or twitter (@ruenahcmohr)
