The student of the Polytechnic University of Cartagena (UPCT) René Trolle has designed, manufactured by 3D printing and programmed a robotic hand that randomly plays stone, paper and scissors and is able to spell the alphabet of sign language.

The device, the result of the work directed by Professor Juan Suardiaz and co-directed by Héctor Puyosa, with which he has completed his degree in Mechanical Engineering, can be reprogrammed in a way that makes movements similar to the human hand.

"It carries 16 servo motors controlled by an arduino plate", explains the student.

"By using JavaScript as a programming language, the hand is extendable to endless web technologies," he suggests.
