Control and calibrate a robotic hand with OpenClaw
An OpenClaw agent running Claude drove a 16-joint printed hand, checked its actions with a USB camera, calibrated firmware and narrated in Telegram.
What they did
The article summarises a project Adafruit highlighted. An OpenClaw agent running Claude was connected to an Aero Hand Open, a fully 3D-printed 16-joint robotic hand. A USB camera let the agent check its own movements visually. It calibrated the firmware on its own, tried out gestures, and narrated each step in a Telegram chat.
How it went
The hand formed a fist and a peace sign. The source gives no further numbers, and it only briefly summarises the project, so setup details are missing.
Worth knowing
The source is a secondhand roundup with no setup, cost or timing details. It also warns that giving an agent autonomous control of hardware raises security and governance risks.
