Building Compliant Robot Grippers - for Events and Education

It's time to put hands on my performance robots so that they can be operated remotely using the puppeteering rigs and can be made to manipulate items so two people can carry out a robot challenge at events.
I've built two grippers for each robot, and each has a sensor so that they always grip the same tension on the object. This used a spring, magnet and hall effect sensor to detect the tension.
Each robot can be operated with the puppeteering rigs by a human operator, as well as by DMX for operation from accessible interfaces or scripted performances.

XROBOTS
Former toy designer, current UA-cam maker and general robotics, electrical and mechanical engineer, I’m a fan of doing it yourself and innovation by trial and error. My channel is where I share some of my useful and not-so-useful inventions, designs and maker advice. Iron Man is my go-to cosplay, and 3D printing can solve most issues - broken bolts, missing parts, world hunger, you name it.
XRobots is the community around my content where you can get in touch, share tips and advice, and more build FAQs, schematics and designs are also available.
